* CriticalResearchFailure: The original [[AllThereInTheManual manual]] for ''Castle Wolfenstein'' describes the firearm that the player is given at the start as a "Mauser M-98 pistol fully loaded with ten bullets". The real-life Mauser M-98 was a bolt-action rifle with a five-bullet magazine (ironically, the soldier depicted on the game's cover is carrying a rifle, [[CoversAlwaysLie but no rifles are seen in the entire game]]). It is possible that the game developers confused it with the C96 (a Mauser pistol with a 10-bullet magazine). But by World War II, even ''that'' gun was largely discontinued by the Germans in favor of the Mauser [=HSc=], Walther P38, and Luger P08 (all of which had eight-bullet magazines).
