This video from Brownells Gun Techs explores a rare Mauser Model 712 Schnellfeuer pistol, a full-auto machine pistol variant of the iconic C96 "Broomhandle." Introduced in 1932, the M712 distinguishes itself with a selective fire capability and a droppable box magazine, unlike the standard C96's stripper-fed fixed magazine. The video highlights the pistol's design, its impressive firepower, and its rarity in the U.S. due to NFA restrictions. The importance of the optional stock for controllability in automatic fire is also emphasized.
This video delves into the Mauser "Schnellfeuer" Model 712, a selective-fire pistol produced in the 1930s as Mauser's response to Spanish designs. With over 100,000 units made, primarily for the Chinese market, this firearm chambers the 7.63mm Mauser cartridge and utilizes 10- and 20-round detachable magazines. The discussion covers its impressive rate of fire (900-1000 rpm) and addresses the urban legend of firing it sideways. The video highlights its effectiveness as a submachine gun when equipped with a shoulder stock, contrasting it with its performance on semi-auto without one. Thanks are extended to TFBTV for facilitating the filming and shooting of this interesting firearm.
