In-Game Text[]
Though long obsolete by the start of the war, the Gasser was still favored by Austrian stormtroops for its stopping power.
History[]
Introduced into Austro-Hungarian cavalry in 1870, the M1870 was designed by Leopold Gasser and chambered for the 11.25x36mmR (rimmed) cartridge. A hand-held cannon capable of stopping any target in its tracks, by the time World War One broke out it was an aging, practically outdated design. However, among Austro-Hungarian frontline troops, the old, reliable Gasser M1870 was prized. Why? The aforementioned ability to make people stop what they're doing and die, that's what.

Gameplay[]
The Gasser is inaccurately portrayed, as it only carried five rounds per cylinder, not six.
