8x57 Mauser cartridge

These variants of 8×57 IS Mauser rifle ammunition in unpainted black PETG (3 walls, 10% Gyroid infill) are designed to faithfully replicate the standard Wehrmacht infantry ammunition for Kar98k bolt-action rifles and MG 34/MG 42 machine guns throughout World War II.

8×57 IS Mauser cartridge

A replica of the standard 7,92 × 57 mm Mauser (8×57 IS) infantry ammunition represents a dimensionally accurate prop of the primary German rifle cartridge that formed the backbone of Wehrmacht small arms during World War II. This ammunition was used extensively across standard bolt-action Mauser Kar98k rifles as well as universal MG 34 and MG 42 machine guns. The individual unpainted print made from durable black PETG plastic precisely mimics the dimensions of the original casing and bullet, making it fully compatible with original and replica metal belt links. It serves as a safe and lightweight prop solution to populate machine gun belts for display nests, optics setups, or encampment scenes without handling deactivated live rounds or dealing with legal restrictions. Printed with three perimeter wall layers and 10% gyroid infill, it provides excellent structural strength. Delivered as a raw, unpainted print, it offers a clean canvas for custom finishing—whether sprayed with a metallic brass tone or weathered with field patina. This prop is an ideal addition for reenactments, film productions, theatrical staging, and museum displays.

The product is 3D-printed from black PETG plastic as a single piece and is supplied unpainted.

It serves as a solid and exceptionally durable visual filler that maintains the perfect pouch shape on the uniform even in demanding terrain, without adding unnecessary weight during all-day field events. The product is 3D-printed from black PETG plastic as a single piece and supplied unpainted. It is an ideal solution for reenactments, dynamic displays, and film productions where gear undergoes heavy use.
