LoginMauser C96
The Mauser C96 was a family of pistols and carbines from Germany. It was created in 1896. It uses the short recoil operation. The C96 was one of the most popular guns of the late 19th and the early 20th centuries. Copies of the C96 were made in Spain and China. ็ๅญ็ฎ (hรฉzipร o; box cannon) is a Chinese nickname for the Mauser C96 pistol.
Pistols were later renamed to the Selbstlade-Pistole (self-loading pistol). These pistols had fixed box magazines of 6, 10, or 20 cartridges loaded with stripper clips, detachable shoulder stocks (which can also be used as holsters), different barrel lengths (from 98 to 406.4 mm), and different variants of hammers, rear sights, and manual safeties. They were chambered in the 7.63ร25 mm Mauser, the 9ร19 mm Parabellum, and the 9ร25 mm Mauser Export cartridges. The 7.62ร25 mm TT cartridge should never be used in Mausers chambered in the 7.63ร25 mm Mauser cartridge.
C96 carbines have handguards (some carbines don't have them) and different stocks. Carbines with 16 in (406.4 mm) barrels are post-1934 models for the USA.
Semi-automatic models with detachable box magazines are either the Trench Carbine of 1917 (only this model and a pistol prototype from presumably 1926 had magazines of 40 cartridges which are not interchangeable with each other and with the Schnellfeuer-Pistole), prototypes, or semi-automatic versions of the Schnellfeuer-Pistole.
The automatic Schnellfeuer-Pistole (rapid firing pistol) with the fire selector of Joseph Nickl was created in 1931, and a second version with the fire selector of Karl Westinger was created in 1932. The Mauser Schnellfeuer-Pistole had two fire modes (semi-automatic and fully automatic), two barrel types (132 or 140 mm long), two detachable box magazines (of 10 and 20 cartridges; like other C96 variants, this pistol can also be loaded with stripper clips), a detachable shoulder stock, and a manual safety. It was chambered in the 7.63ร25 mm Mauser cartridge (a few were chambered in the 9ร19 mm Parabellum cartridge). According to different Mauser manuals, the rate of fire is either 900, 960, or 1,200 shots per minute. These pistols are unofficially called M711 and M712 (these designations are actually product codes of Stoeger catalogs).
