Chinese Warlord Pistols: Shanghai Model 1900 Pistol-Carbine
This video explores the Shanghai Arsenal Model 1900 Pistol-Carbine, a unique firearm from China's Warlord Era. Unlike typical copies of FN 1900 and Mauser C96 pistols, this model combines the FN 1900's mechanical basis with Mauser-style stock slots, an extended barrel, and a tangent rear sight. The video highlights its production between 1916-1921, its well-made and reliable nature, and the existence of both original examples and smaller-scale knockoffs. A Kickstarter campaign for "Pistols of the Warlords" is also promoted.
