:I'd go with the article over the video, I think Ian does these videos from memory rather than reading a script and something like "600 M1916s and 400 carbines" can easily become "they made 600 and 400 were carbines"."

This weapon looks absolutely fantastic! I wonder how this performed in the field?... --Warejaws (talk) 16:02, 6 March 2014 (EST)
- If I recall, the rounds had to be oiled, which is a dealbreaker for field use. The only people who used it were Zeppelin crews. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:06, 6 March 2014 (EST)
Confusion
Forgotten weapons did an article and a video on the weapon. The problem here is that there seems to be some conflicts between these sources:
- Ian says only about 600 M1916s were made, 400 being carbines and the rest rifles. The article instead says that 1000 M1916s were made.
- Ian says the weapon uses 25-round magazines, while the article says 20-round detachable magazine were introduced
- There seems to be some confusion over the name of the "Rifle variant". The article says that the rifle was also known as "06/08 rifle" while the video gave no mention of this name. The article specified the "Selbstlader-Karabiner Mauser M 1916" name as the refined carbine version of the 06/08 rifle, while Ian in the video just calls the long rifle version the M1916.
