Greg Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 That is great but they are reporduced today as well. I know a company in the US, small family print house that specifically collects and re-prints manuals and gun catalogues for nearly all old companies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 The broomhandle was a popular pistol from before WW1 and particularly between the wars. Sold very well in China! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 The fact that the Waffen SS used some early in the war was due more to shortages of smg type automatic weapons. They used a version called the Schnell fuer "sp?" or "S" which could fire fully auto and could take a lrger magazine. This was replaced when better supplies of MP4os became available to the SS. Haven't read any complaints about the broomhandle though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 There's a few vids on You Tube of firing the C96 (forgot that's its official title) but only semi auto. I couldn't find a full auto clip. The ones used by the German military in WW1 and WW2 tended to be in 9mm so had a "9" carved into the handle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 No recoil on that because you are watching a video for a Maurishin Airsoft Gas Operated pistol and not the real thing! Here is a real one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 OOPs I was thinking that there must be an airsoft version! Wonder how much it is? De acs of the C96 were very expensive. Anyone found a fully auto firing? Were (are) thet very rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
