The golden mauser is a highly recommended weapon -not for its performance, but for its extra credit killing bonus (this gun provides the "embarrassing" stat for kills). For every enemy you bring down with the mauser, you get bonus credits. This is particularly useful if you prefer the run and gun approach, as this pistol is as good as any weapon when taking down enemies on critical health levels. ~Raze2.net

Description
The Golden Mauser is a small gold gun which shoots gold bullets at the opponent. It has the weakest power of all weapons available and is not suited for any kind of combat due to its pathetic stats. This gun's unique gimmick is the ability to grant +2 credits to any kill. However, +2 credits to any kill is also available with the Point Allocator, which awards every weapon's kill. As the gimmick can be replicated for every other weapon, this gun is practically useless. However, to get the "Embarrassing" kill bonus and unlock the "30 kill bonuses" achievement, one must use this gun at least once to kill an opponent. Attempting to steal a kill or weaken a foe with a stronger weapon first is the only realistic way to get kills using this gun.
Embarrassing
This gun awards the 'Embarrassing' award. The quickest way to earn this is to combine the gun with the Rapid Fire and/or Double Damage pickup.
Pros
- Cheapest unlockable gun available
- Kills with this gun earn extra credits
- Good for easy difficulties and 'Kill Steal' novices
Cons
- Rate of fire is very weak
- Severely outclassed by every other weapon
- The worst thing to use in practically every scenario
- Credit bonus is minimal
- Credit gain can be applied for all other weapons using Point Allocator
- Just out of sight-of-range
Reality
In reality, the term Mauser comes from a German arms manufacturer of a line of bolt-action rifles and pistols from the 1870s to 1995. Mauser designs were built for the German armed forces. Since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, military Mauser designs were also exported and licensed to a number of countries, as well as being a popular civilian firearm. Due to the need of a special weapon in Raze 2, the creators created a variation of the Mauser weapons and named it the Golden Mauser for the inspiration. While the original Mauser was a very effective weapon, its game counterpart does not live up to its name.
