The Battles of Messines and Cambrai in 1917 saw mass deployments of the British Mark IV tank, which had improved armor protection over the Mk I. They weren’t always effective, could damage the rifle and once the British started upgrading, the bullet became useless. This allowed a little more propellant and the theory was the blunt end wouldn’t break apart against the tank’s armor but cause it to distort and send spalling into the compartment. As the name states, the bullet was in the casing backwards. There is also debate in regards to the use of reverse bullets. Originally, these steel core armored piercing bullets had been issued so that frontline units could tackle enemy pillboxes and armored bullet shields, but now they were turned against the British and French metal beasts that now stormed towards their trenches. The first solution saw the Spitzgeschoss mit Kern, more commonly called the K Bullet, being issued in larger quantities. Real-Gun.In September 1916, the British unveiled their new weapon to the world – The Tank – which, while slow and mechanically unreliable, sent shockwaves through the ranks of the German military.

Ww1 german mauser rifle serial numbers#
Dug up near Ypres, Some of it has suffered, some of it is spot on - woodwork is all there, volley sights are there and work, mag and chain are in place, plus there`s regimental details stamped into the brass butt (would not take long to track down this rifles history) plus you can read the serial numbers and data detail on grip strap. Ok, who`s got a museum - this is by far the best, historic dug up rifle we have ever seen.
