Paul Mauser was a German gunsmith and inventor, best known for his development of the Mauser bolt-action rifle, which became one of the most influential firearm designs in military history. Born on June 27, 1838, in Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany, Mauser's innovations led to the creation of several notable rifle models, including the Gewehr 98, which was adopted by the German Army in 1898 and used in both World Wars.
