Mauser C96

Mauser produced over a million C96es from 1896 to 1937. Among the many, MANY variants was a full-auto version called the Schnellfeuer, which Mauser made from 1932 to 1936. Mine was an export version, intended for sale outside Germany. Having shot it, it seems a lot more like a rifle than a pistol, but those nutty Germans were coming up with a whole new class of pistol in 1896!
