Just a friendly reminder that if you enjoy these posts and wish to contribute, please consider subscribing to the Patreon (patreon.com/DeadHawkPub) with a one-time or monthly donation. Currently, 100% of the net income goes towards art and editing for TTRPG content, which are quite expensive for me.

Before discussing China's Type 24 Rifle, we have to talk about Germany's Standardmodell. Designed in 1924, the Mauser Standardmodell is a 8×57mm carbine developed from the Gewehr 98 and is similar to the later Karabiner 98k. These were Germany's World War I and II service rifles, respectively.

Another new Patreon post and another small update, this time for the magic weapons we released for Shadowdark yesterday. I changed the file name and header from "Magic Weapons #2" to "Magic Items #2" and fixed a small typo.

I'll be putting out some new art assets by @mishkatron.bsky.social next week for the Chinese Type 24 Rifle and talk a bit about its history.

I'm waiting for some edits to the art that I showed off a few days ago, so I went ahead and put out the following Shadowdark release over on the Patreon. It's for paying members, but you can get a preview by clicking the link below. #osr #shadowdark

Completely different weapon. You're thinking the QBZ-191 and it's a disproven myth. They were using rubber ammo in the video and there are countless videos of the QBZ-191 using standard ammo without issue.

Compare a DBF-07 rubber bullet case (1) to one in the video (2) and to standard DBP-191 (3).
