"WTF??? Wakeman have a new campaign? I've never heard anything about a Mauser bolt shearing. Nothing, Nada, Zip, Nil, Nyet, Nichts, Zero, zilch, and of course, etc... They are one of the strongest pistols out there!"
You're reading something into my message that I NEVER said.
Did I say that I have ever heard of or seen a Mauser bolt that had sheared off?
No.
What I said is that I have heard of (and seen) more than a few Mauser bolts that are CRACKED, which could, possibly, lead to a bolt shearing off and coming right back into the shooter's face, and that's really something that I don't wish to experience.
The overall design of the handgun is strong and sound. However, the composition of materials, ESPECIALLY in the Chinese copies, can be suspect to the maximum at times.
