This video delves into the history and technical aspects of the Walther Model 6, a lesser-known WWI-era pistol. Introduced in 1915 as a scaled-up version of the popular Model 4, the Model 6 was chambered in 9x19mm. Despite its robust construction, the simple blowback action proved less ideal for this cartridge compared to locked-breech designs preferred by the military. Production ceased by 1917 with only about a thousand units made, though many saw private use during the war. The video highlights Walther's early attempts to enter the military handgun market.
