Small Arms of WWI Primer 111: Chinese Mauser 1907
Added 2019-11-19 12:19:36 +0000 UTCand this one got a quick snip to knock out a smidge of bad ammo history.

Seriously, I can see DARPA spending a few hundred $K on this project; this is not a trivial undertaking! Yes, the computer does all the calcs for you, but GIGO: there's a lot of man-hours getting the modeling right before you can spend machine time running the numbers... ;-)

2019-11-20 07:35:53 +0000 UTCThanks for every episode, well done. By coincidence, last week a Mauser 1903 took shelter at my house. Bayonets! There is a non destructive way to test both types of bayonet logs. It is an engineering materials tool called finite element analysis. Make a drawing in 3D (you already have the guy) of the bayonet lug, barrel and bands and of the bayonet for each type of system. On the computer you can simulate different torques and forces up to failure point. You can also have how much the harmonics change etc. Just ask who from the subscribers can do the analysis. Then we can have an answer for the biggest question of all times: which is the best bayonet log type.

At the conclusion of each episode I see the names of your crew briefly displayed. I would really appreciate hearing those names (properly) pronounced as I suspect my guesstimations are fairly far afield.
