Talk:Mannlicher M1895

Untitled
I wonder if the existing image is concise, I've been adding images from my personal collection to many of the firearm articles, and think this might serve better:

The description is an exact copy of the Modern Firearms and Ammunition site ( world.guns.ru ). Maybe someone could rewrite this, and add info aboput the Dutch version of this weapon, rechambered to 6.5 mm?

Answer:

The Dutch 1895 mannlicher has nothing in common with this rifle, apart from the fact they were both made by Steyr! They are totally different designs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.23.5.243 (talk) 17:01, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

nicknamed the Ruck-Zu(rü)ck
This sentence mingles Austrian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary) and German. Ruck-Zuck is Austrian Slang. "Landser" is a German term. The German weapon was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewehr_98 and not the Mannlicher — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.144.214.218 (talk) 17:04, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * "Ruck-zuck" was just as well used in southern Germany (at the least). However I only ever encountered it as meaning "in a blink". Also the German article makes no mention of "Ruck zurück", so I'm wondering about the authenticity of that expression. --BjKa (talk) 09:00, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

It was nicknamed the Ruck-Zu(rü)ck
"It was nicknamed the Ruck-Zu(rü)ck (Ruck-Zuck meaning "slapdash" and Ruck-Zurück "jerk back") by Austrian troops"

In Austrian common language, ruck-zuck means move in no time. Spoken "roock-tsoock", it is also an echoism of the repeating sound.

Examples:

"Clean up your room, but ruck-zuck!" Or: "Now this went ruck-zuck!" (as compliment for fast service). On some occasions, it may also mean slapdash, if work was done too fast to be good.

Explanation:

While "rucken" or "rücken" means "to move" (as in English "to rock"), "zucken" or "zücken" describes a fast motion. "Der Blitz zuckt" means "the lighntning twitches", "einen Dolch zücken" means "to dagger out".

Correction: "Zurückrücken" ("to move back") and "Rückzug" (retreat) derive from to word "Rücken", which means "the backside of the body" and is a relative to the English word "ridge".

Orphaned references in Mannlicher M1895
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Mannlicher M1895's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Congo": From FN FAL:  From Gendarmerie:  

Reference named "Bishop": From Automatic rifle:  From StG 44:  From Mosin–Nagant: Bishop, Chris: The Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II, p. 239. Sterling Publishing, 2002. 

Reference named "USA": From Ghana: </li> <li>From Steyr AUG: </li> </ul>

Reference named "Jones":<ul> <li>From Mosin–Nagant: </li> <li>From Malta: </li> <li>From Pakistan: </li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:57, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
