It is legendary in China---Mauser Military Pistol
Its official name is the Mauser Military Pistol. In the United States, because the shape of the grip, commonly known as a broom handle (Broomhandle), also known as the Chinese translation of Hezi Bao (Box Cannon) is. When Box Cannon has just successfully developed a semi-automatic pistol has just started, the whole world does not have any military use of a semi-automatic pistol as the standard weapon. German Mauser know that to be successful, we must obtain a power of military contracts, so he named Box Cannon Mauser pistol 1896 military style, hoping to get a military contract. But it did not, until 1939 Mauser plant shutdown Box Cannon far, no country in the world using the Box Cannon as the military standard weapons. The Box Cannon production downturn dragged four decades, Mauser factory production is estimated about one million of a wide range of Box Cannon. While in other countries the number of counterfeit production is several times that. National armed forces do not use Box Cannon gun was not because of poor quality, but because
1. The gun price is too high,
2. When the pistol is equipped European army size is too large,
3. As a submachine gun muzzle jump and difficult to control,
4. Before the fully automatic firing shall wooden gun cartridge combination to the body as the butt of the gun to control the muzzle jump, complex operation, carry more difficult.
It is neither fish nor fowl, a dilemma.
But Box Cannon true in China has been widely welcomed, on the 20th Century Chinese warlord factions urgent need to combat weapons, at a time when Japan controlled the western ban arms exports to China, but as a pistol Box Cannon is not in this column Therefore Mauser choice for armed factions.
The most interesting is that Chinese people came up with a very simple way, not only solved the problem on the muzzle jump, but it will be converted to fully automatic rapid-fire bursts of advantages - the right hand grip gunmen Mauser pistol, rapid fire gear to pull the bolt , palms up his gun, toward the left front, pull the trigger, the muzzle jump action so Mauser fire from gunmen left front to right front; palms down his gun from right to left in front of the fire front; when the left hand gun completely opposite!
I must rely on translation software , so please use simple English to communicate with me . Thank you
