History of WWI Primer 015: Austrian Steyr-Pieper Model 1909 Pistol Documentary
This video from C&Rsenal's WWI Primer series delves into the history, function, and live-fire demonstration of the Austrian Steyr-Pieper Model 1909 Pistol. The documentary traces the origins of this Belgian-designed commercial handgun, its licensing by Steyr in Austria, and its adoption as the M.13. While noting it may not have been fully ready for military service, the video positions it as a minor but historically relevant firearm of WWI.
