Bergmann 1896 / No.3 Pistol
This video delves into the history and design of the Bergmann 1896 pistol, also known as the No.3. It highlights Bergmann's status as a relatively unknown but successful manufacturer of early automatic pistols. The video discusses how a delayed blowback patent was refined by Louis Schmeisser into the 1896 model, which was offered in multiple calibers (5mm No.2, 6.5mm No.3, and 8mm No.4). It also touches upon the evolution of the design into a locked-breech variant chambered for the 9x23mm cartridge, noting its continued use into World War II.
