Mark? Is that You?
Well, certainly not Mark, but still:
A man wearing a World War II Nazi uniform and carrying a powerful German rifle of the same vintage quickly told police his mission: He was on the way to kill a man.
Something called an "8mm Mauser" sounds more like a pistol than a powerful gun, but wtf do I know?
8mm Mauser is in fact a 98k Mauser bolt-action rifle that shoots 8mm (7.92mm in fact) ammo.

Probably just a step below "shoots through schools".

Posted by: ronaprhys on November 23, 2008 06:14 PMThat's kind of the difference between a rifle and a shotgun... A rifle has a little bullet with lots of powder, while a shotgun has a big bullet (or lots of small ones) with relatively little powder.
