German Small Arms of WW1

For people who are interested in the weapons of World War 1, one of the best pop culture sources I've found is C&Rsenal's YouTube channel, where they discuss the history of the weapon and test it on range. Watching through the series has led me to stat up the weapons they've discussed, along with a few that get mentioned as being relevant but that haven't had episodes shot yet. Below the break are the German weapons of the First World War. Please note that these use Fire, Fusion & Steel calculations for Pen, rather than my revised penetration calculations.

The Reichsrevolvers both cannot use speedloaders and are slow to reload (only 2 rounds per action instead of 3).


The two Mauser pistols feed from stripper clips.

The MG 08 has double range on a tripod.

The MG 08/15 has range increased by 30% on a bipod.

All of the clip-fed rifles use stripper clips.

The T-Gewehr has range increased by 30% on a bipod.
