The Mauser C96: an icon of semi-automatic weapons

The Mauser C96 pistol, designed in Germany in 1896, was one of the first semi-automatic pistols to be distributed worldwide. Its innovative design, with a fixed magazine of 10 rounds loaded per blade-loader, and its ability to be fitted with a removable stock, made it a versatile and effective weapon. Chambered mainly for the 7.63mm Mauser cartridge, it was renowned for its greater power and range than traditional pistols.

The C96 was used in various conflicts around the world, notably during the First World War by the German army, but also by other nations and revolutionary forces. Because of its robustness, it remained in use long after its introduction. Nicknamed the ‘Broomhandle’ because of the shape of its handle, the Mauser C96 remains an icon among historic handguns.
