📜The Mauser C96 M712 pistol is ultimately a submachine gun based on the design of the famous Mauser C96 pistol. If this Schnellfeuer was manufactured from 1932, it remains based on the pistol designed in 1896.
Feederle will file a patent in 1921 to convert a C96 pistol to full-auto. But the economy of the country and the Mauser firm is doing badly: the project is canceled.
It is on the side of Spain that the first C96 full-auto version will appear on the market: the firm ASTRA then copied the C96 pistols.
Finally, given the success of this model, Mauser offered one in 1931: the Nickl system. Quickly replaced by the Westinger system, clearly the most popular model today.
It is in China that we will find the biggest consumers of C96 pistols, whatever the model.
His career ended in Brazil, with a particular modification to a "small submachine gun", the Mod-2 PASAM.
If the weapon is unusable without the shoulder stock because the very high cadence of the M712 makes it uncontrollable, it becomes much more manageable with the stock. These weapons were used by German troops during World War II.
In addition, the 7.63x25mm is reputed to be faster than the 9x19 parabellum.
