and thats also surprising me: A G.Teschner single shot rifle
http://www.gun-photos.info/gunphotos?photoid=49416&iid=255610&aid=49
"needle fire" and in this case probably YES
the only rational reason why Teschner would build a "Berger" gun and not using his own action must be it shots the Berger paper cartridge with primer in the base like Zimmer is writing in his book " Berger is using the Collath shotgun cartridge and Collath use the Berger paper cartridge (sometimes)"
