In this series, historic military surplus firearms are run through modern shooting drills to get a better sense of what it would have been like to use the firearms in combat. In this video, the German K98k Mauser is put through the paces. Links to the drills/targets are below if you would like to try your hand at being a Milsurp Operator.
