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.

This video delves into the history and specifics of the Beistigui Hermanos MM31, a Spanish-made machine pistol. It highlights Beistigui Hermanos as an early innovator in machine pistols, predating others despite their relative obscurity. The MM31 is presented as an evolution of their Model H, itself a C96 Broomhandle variant, specifically designed to appeal to the Chinese market in the 1920s and 1930s. The video discusses the pistol's development, including fixed and detachable magazine versions, and its clever marketing strategy of adopting Mauser magazine compatibility. It also touches on the market collapse due to political instability in Spain and the Japanese invasion of China, which led to Beistigui's transition to bicycle manufacturing.
