Gewehr 71

Description

The Mauser Model 1871 adopted as the Gewehr 71 or Infanterie-Gewehr 71 was the first of millions of rifles manufactured to the designs of Paul Mauser and Wilhelm Mauser of the Mauser company.

Note: The maximum calculated barrel length for this ammunition is 23 cm. The historical barrel length was 85.5 cm, and this was used in this design. However, all calculations for muzzle energy, damage, range and recoil were generated using the 23 cm value.
