This Mauser had the one and only bullet I fired 24 years ago, and it's been chilling in a gun case ever since. Back then, I thought it would be cool to get into guns, but it turns out I was more of a 'spectator sport' kind of guy, while my coworkers were the real gun enthusiasts. After I left that job, I never got back into it. I figured if I couldn't even hit the broad side of a barn with that one bullet, maybe it was a sign from the universe that I should stick to safer hobbies—like knitting or competitive eating. Besides, the last thing I need is to accidentally shoot my toe off while trying to impress someone at a party with my non-existent marksmanship skills. When fired, this gun has a massive recoil that can hurt your shoulder if you are not expecting it. Even if you are warned, it might still be harsh. It's equipped with a steel buttstock and no rubber to cushion your shoulder, so be ready—this thing will make your shoulder feel like it's been through a mosh pit! This Mauser is the talk of the town at parties. It's like having a fire-breathing dragon in your living room—everyone wants to see it and is amazed!
