This Chinese production C96 Broomhandle pistol is found in the collection of the UK’s Royal Armouries. Curator Jonathan Ferguson showed it off recently in this video briefly.
It notably the word pistol engraved on the side where it should say Mauser. Just in case you couldn’t tell I suppose.
This gun is used by Eva in the Metal Gear Solid series
A mauser or the chinese model specifically?
It was a Chinese Mauser in the game but this particular one is a different small product knock off. For a period China had a number of warring factions that produced unlicenced pistol designs. IMFDB has it as a Type 17 in game. The one above has different markings and a full auto switch.
The creator of this sub’s namesake Ian McCollum, of Forgotten Weapons, published a great coffee table book “Pistols of the Warlords” for anyone scrolling past us in All.
Yeah
not an answer but ok
Sure it was. It wasn’t an elaborate answer though.
It was not an answer because it didn’t provide any information. It is no different to responding “fish sticks”
Idk about that. Granted, my answer on its own was almost interely useless, but it was nonetheless correct. Praise the OP 🙌

I recently recreated the C96 in 3D! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/XgrkbD
Not the chinese version in particular but I thought I’d share anyway. Very interesting pistol
That’s really cool. You should make that it’s own post.
