Did sniper triggers have spikes?

[1Patriotofmany]

There's a video on youtube a friend sent to me, it says German sniper rifles had a spike welded on the triggers that would hurt if you didn't use proper trigger pull......Sounded like BS to me. You guys ever heard of this?

You can be anything you want on the internet, even a so-called expert.

No cure for stupid / but it must be true if it's on the internet !!!!!!

This was the rare and little understood Katzen Penis trigger, a late war wonder weapon, literally turning the tide on the eastern front. Where do you think that saying “you rub me the wrong way” emanated?

Ai made narrated video with BS claims. Come on people.

Even moment of critical thinking would debunk this. Without having zero proof of such thing ever physically existing.
German snipers were professional marksmen, they don't need gimmick of spiking their finger, which would make them useless in their role.

Talk about developing a shooting flinch.

… why would a sniper want to possibly wound himself? There may be situations where even he needs a non-proper trigger pull.

What btw on the contrary is true (since many period documents speak on this), they had wanted to develop a detachable K98k magazine for snipers.
