Mauser

毛瑟步枪是一种德国军用步枪，最早于1871年由彼得·保罗（1838-1914）和威廉（1834-1882）两兄弟发明，于1874年开始使用 Mauser。

After many and most varied experiments, the supreme military authorities of the German empire have now finally decided to supply the whole of the German army—with the exception of the Bavarians, who have a most excellent weapon already in the Werder gun—with a gun of a new pattern, made by a Würtemberg gunsmith of the name of Mauser, who lives at Oberndorf. This new pattern is called the Mauser gun or rifle. This Mauser gun is said to be in every way vastly superior to the chassepot. [G.L.M. Strauss, "Men Who Have Made the New German Empire," London, 1875]

在进行了多次不同的实验后，德意志帝国的最高军事当局最终决定向整个德国军队提供一种新型枪支，由奥本多夫的一位名叫毛瑟的维尔特伯格枪匠制造。这种新型枪支被称为毛瑟枪或步枪。据说，毛瑟枪在各个方面都比沙索枪优越。[G.L.M. Strauss，“Men Who Have Made the New German Empire”，伦敦，1875年]
