7.92×57mm Mauser

The 7.92×57mm Mauser is a bottleneck, rimless rifle cartridge designed in Germany prior to the start of World War 1. 
==Overview==
The 7.92×57mm Mauser was first adopted by the German Empire in the year 1905. At that time, the M/88 ammunition was the standard round for their Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifles. It was by World War 1 when the Germans first utilized the 7.92mm cartridge in their rifles. After the war, Germany was already in shambles economically, however when the Nazi Party rose to power in 1933, the Germans began re-arming their country. This gave production for the ammunition a major jumpstart and by that time the Germans had come up with the Kar98k. 
The round was used alongside the 9×19mm Parabellum used in the MP40. It even served as the primary source of ammunition for the German MG34 and MG42 machine guns. By 1942, the Germans succeeded in creating an intermediate round. Their new round (the 7.92×33mm Kurz) was the new round used in the STG-44.
