This video delves into the history and mechanics of the Mauser 1912/14 pistol, highlighting its unique flapper-delayed blowback system. It discusses Mauser's early attempts at automatic pistols, the development leading to the 1910 and 1914 models, and the eventual creation of the 9mm 1912. The description notes its limited production, military features, and how political events and the death of Paul Mauser ultimately halted its potential. The influence of its design elements on later Czechoslovakian firearms is also mentioned. The video appears to be a detailed historical and technical overview from Forgotten Weapons.
This video delves into the rare prototype of the Mauser HSc pistol, specifically a locked-breech variant chambered in 9x19mm. The presenter explains that Mauser initially intended the HSc to be a pair of pistols: a blowback version for civilian/police use and a locked-breech version for military applications. This prototype, designated V1001, utilizes Josef Nickl's rotating barrel patent. Ultimately, this design was not adopted by the German military, which favored an exposed barrel, leading to the development of the HSv and eventually the adoption of the Walther P38. The video highlights the historical context and the reasons behind the prototype's lack of production.
This video explores the Nickl Prototype M1916/22 Pistol, a rotating barrel military pistol developed by Josef Nickl, a former R&D designer at Mauser. The design originated from the Steyr-Hahn M1912 pistol. Nickl created several prototypes at Mauser, but the company did not pursue production due to patent issues and wartime demands. The design later evolved into the CZ24 and CZ27 pistols produced in Brno. The featured prototype is a larger variant chambered in 9x19mm.
