German bombers were all equipped with a drilling as part of a survival kit. They were to be used for hunting game.
I wonder if any ever were actually used for that.

The German Drillings look a little clumsy with the three barrels, but many of them are actually light weight and well balanced. Pretty common to find them with horn trigger guards and horn butt plates, which are frequently mistaken for plastic these days. Main disadvantage of older drillings is that the rifle caliber is obsolete.

My understanding is that many of the more lithe jungen coming in to the SA and later, the SS, were given a Drilling by their superiors and comrades.
