Depends if they are a good guy or bad guy air ship crew. Good guys would have top break Webley's and bad guys would have C-96's. Automatics aren't good guy weapons until you get to Colt .45's in diesel punk;).
Featured in the John Wayne western "Big Jake" In one scene in a saloon, a bad guy picks a fight with they guy with "Hey you! Yeah you! You! With the funny looking gun!" Of course, those were his last words
According to Imdb, the pistol is referred to as a Begman 1911. But it is, in fact a customised mock-up based on a Walther P-38. I'm gonna have to go watch it now, just to see the bloody thing.
If you thought the grip was odd shaped and crowded your hand up by the trigger,I probably couldn't shoot it! Looks cool though seemed to function nicely. I agree on the c96 vibes looks like a prototype! Cool! You keep shooting stuff I never could! Love that smile!
I believe this is the Bergmann that made an appearance in Big Jake (1971) with a funny quip by John Wayne when introduced. Cannot recall if it was Patrick Wayne, or Robert Mitchum's son who used it.
This was in Bioshock: Infinite. Although the C96 was used. Sad that we'll never see this there, though the reload animation from this gun was satisfactory.
The C96 with stock attached sure was used like a standard carbine by the Chinese at the time. I’d take 10 rounds semi auto 7.63 Mauser over 5 rounds bolt action any time.
That movie is false propaganda. Plenty of Danish and Norwegain people supported Germany, because they protected us from the communists. I'm Swedish and many Swedes were volunteers against the communists in the Baltics and in the winter war supporting Finland and Mannerheim
Nice lines to it I wonder if they were thinking that much out front will help keep it from being flippy in recoil or was it just packaging for trigger mechanism
Where it made? Pieper - Lieja (Belgium) models made for Spain was quite weak and quickly Spanish military look for best option in Campo-Giro homeland production but the ammo remains in service in Spain for long time with the name 9 mm x 23 Largo...
This is my favorite handgun of it's time. Browning designs are awesome and obviously ahead of his time, but for some reason this gun really catches my eye
Ah the Bergmann. My absolute favorite of the era. A gun that i think is unironically better than a C96. Because, well, it basically is a refined C96 in function, and is lacking most of its handling problems. It doesn't make as imposing a carbine though.
