Moving onwards with the Mad Minute series, here’s another one that went faster than the Bloke thought realistic, even though compared to the No.4 and the K31 it was quite a bit slower. It was effing hard work though working the bolt on that Mauser 98k that quickly, since it’s not really optimised for “fast”.
Also contains a little discussion about German doctrine compared to British and Swiss doctrine, and some ergonomic considerations with respect to the Lee-Enfield No.4 and the Swiss K31.

Switzerland’s most popular native-English-language guns & shooting channel! Probably. Maybe. I guess. A somewhat off-the-wall and tongue-in-cheek look at firearms, military history and shooting, and a jolly good tilt at the windmills of fuddlore to go with it. And the odd off-topic vid about Switzerland, or whatever happens to take our fancy. We normally launch “in-series” vids on a Friday (early launch on a Wednesday via Patreon and the FB page https://www.facebook.com/Blokeontherange/ ), out-of-series vids launch precisely… whenever.
