This video explores the rare Mauser 1917 Trench Carbine prototype, a pistol-caliber firearm developed for German Sturmtruppen during the final stages of World War I. Unlike the adopted Luger LP08 and Bergmann MP18.I, this Mauser variant was never officially adopted, with only around 40 prototypes produced. The description highlights its unique features, including a magazine derived from the 1906/08 pistol and differences from standard C96 pistols and pre-war sporting carbines. All observed examples were semi-automatic, predating the later full-auto Schnellfeuer models.
