This video delves into the Mauser C96 pistol, specifically focusing on the less common 9x25mm Mauser Export variant. It highlights how Mauser modified the C96 to accommodate this more powerful cartridge, which was essentially a blown-out 7.63x25mm case. The video notes the clever design that allowed for unchanged rear sight graduations due to similar ballistic performance and the minor modification to the follower for reliable feeding. With only around 150 produced, these pistols are rare, and the cartridge itself found a better niche in submachine guns used by Swiss and Austrian forces. Serial number ranges for the 9x25mm C96 are also provided.
