Mauser was already selling similar 1895-design weapons to many other countries, and had supplied less advanced Mauser rifles to the German Army from 1871 to 1888. The bolt-action design was the latest refinement of the 1895 design patented by Paul Mauser on 9 September 1895. The Gewehr 98 was introduced into German military service in 1898, replacing the Gewehr 1888. 2.1.4 Modern civilian offspring of the M98 system.2.1 M98 controlled-feed bolt-action system.The Gewehr 98 saw further military use by the Ottoman Empire and Nationalist Spain. It first saw combat in the Chinese Boxer Rebellion and was the main German infantry service rifle of World War I. The Gewehr 98 replaced the earlier Gewehr 1888 as the main German service rifle. The Gewehr 98 action, using a stripper clip loaded with the 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge, successfully combined and improved several bolt-action engineering concepts which were soon adopted by many other countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, and Japan. It was the German service rifle from 1898 to 1935, when it was replaced by the Karabiner 98k, a shorter weapon using the same basic design. The Gewehr 98 (abbreviated G98, Gew 98, or M98) is a German bolt-action rifle made by Mauser firing cartridges from a 5-round internal clip-loaded magazine.

Longer throw indicates unsufficient gas capture and shorter throw indicates sufficient locking, or mass locking capturing the gas power inside the barrel to provide the needed push behind the bullet for handling optimum velocity and energy. The distance that empty case thrown away of the pistol indicates the state of efectiveness of locking mechanism to use correct gas power expelling the bullet out of the firearm. But, ejecting the unfired live rounds are made by the hit of real ejector since the brass back strikes it earlier before to reach to the firing pin tip waiting on cocked mode at some more distance behind. The spring forced firing pin tip is at behind of empty case and pushes it violently as soon as the case mouth clears off the chamber. The whirling brass seen in the slow motion video clearly indicates this. Though Mauser 1910/1914 has a separate ejector, real empty case throwing happens through the push of striker just as being in FN 1910/22.
