World War I Austro-Hungarian Infantry Weapons
The world is the totality of entities, the whole of reality, or everything that exists. The nature of the world has been conceptualized differently in different fields. Some conceptions see the world as unique, while others talk of a "plurality of worlds". Some treat the world as one simple object, while others analyze the world as a complex made up of parts. In scientific cosmology, the world or universe is commonly defined as "the totality of all space and time; all that is, has been, and will be". Theories of modality talk of possible worlds as complete and consistent ways how things could have been. Phenomenology, starting from the horizon of co-given objects present in the periphery of every experience, defines the world as the biggest horizon, or the "horizon of all horizons". In philosophy of mind, the world is contrasted with the mind as that which is represented by the mind. Theology conceptualizes the world in relation to God, for example, as God's creation, ...

Mukden Arsenal Mauser
The Mukden Arsenal Mauser, also known as the Model 13 Mauser and Liao Type 13, was a rifle that implemented characteristics of both the Mauser Type 4 and Arisaka rifles. They were mostly built in the Mukden arsenal in Manchukuo. History Origin The Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft (Œ.W.G.) continued improvement of its Steyr Model 1912 Mauser export rifle after 1912 and during World War I. The final 1917 prototype featured a shrouded firing pin and striker, two gas vent holes, detachable box magazine, and receiver dust cover, taking a lot of influence from the Japanese Type 38 rifle which itself was derived from Mauser. However, before the war's end the production of Mannlicher M1895s for the Austro-Hungarian Army was prioritized, and the 1919 peace treaty prohibited military arms production in Austria. Steyr therefore sold a license to a customer in the Far East, which got rid of the detachable box magazine. It has also been suggested that incomplete guns were importe ...
