The C96 Broomhandle: A Thing of Beauty
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 дек 2024
- The C96 "Broomhandle" is truly a thing a beauty. This 120 year old design comes from an era when it took a factory staffed by hundreds to create a single pistol, all having made a single pass on a single component.
The C96 is an amalgamation of 34 parts working in perfect harmony that to this day deserves to be revered. Invented by the Feederle brothers, this classic handgun is a piece that everyone should fire once.
Bonus full auto footage of an M712 "Schnellfeuer".

Pulling that second C96 out of the stock of the first after emptying the mag was about the most badass thing I've ever seen!

The C96 is a piece of art. I'm finding inspiration for a novel that I'm writing. The story is developed after ww1 and the main character has a C96. Epic moment when you pull the second pistol from inside the stock, I'll keep it in mind for an action scene.

2:29, Through the miracle of editing, the empty C96 goes down and his younger brother AKA Schnellfeuer arises and a fresh mag is inserted. Note the selector switch in reach of the thumb of his right hand, and yes, it's set to happy mode!!!
What exactly is this?
It's a C96 broom handle pistol, as indicated above.
There's a holster for these that also doubles as a shoulder stock, thats why the other one fit inside.
It is an early self-loading pistol designed in the 19th century that is mechanically complex, and very different from modern pistols. It was arguably the first commercially successful semi automatic handgun.
The variant featured at the end is a rare fully automatic version.

+SmarterEveryDay Hey Destin, I just send you a message through your contact form on your website. Hopefully it does not get lost amongst your fan mail ;)
I've been debating for a long time whether I prefer the C96 or the Luger... and after all this time I still haven't decided. The Luger definitely wins in the ergonomics department, it fits my hand like a glove. As strange as the C96 is, though, I really enjoy how it points and I absolutely love the trigger on it. Something about it is more 'snappy' than the Luger, from the crispness of the trigger pull to the way it recoils and the hissing sound it makes when it fires. The fact that the C96 doesn't have detachable magazines is a bit of an inconvenience, but to tell the truth, I prefer the ones with fixed mags. This way they feel more boxy and solid, which is the main aesthetic of the gun. I just recently got my hands on one of these for the first time, so it's hard to say if what I'm feeling right now is simply infatuation or a romance destined to be by the cosmos. I've had my Luger for 2 years now and I still love it, but I think I may prefer my C96, at least for now. We'll see how I feel about it in another two years.
It's nice to have the choice, eh? The C-96 handles way better than its appearance would suggest. --Old Guy
It's also wa-ay more powerful than luger!Especially when it comes to piercing capabilities!Although there are AP rounds for 9mm in existence and some of those are pretty good (Russian tungsten carbide sabots with enhanced loads actually go through one centimeter of any armor steel when fired out of a pistol)-but if you make the same design for 7,63×25-you will always get more than from 9mm!
So I used to carry a full size conehammer C-96 produced in 1897 for quite a while and it's really the best!

No wonder Winston Churchill survived the battles and cavalry charges when he was a young officer in the British Cavalry.Too bad he lost his Mauser when he was captured by the Boers.
When you put it like that, it sounds kinda ironic. The most defiant man against Nazi Germany was alive because of a gorgeous German small arm.
That goes to show ya: Sometimes, you really can be so good, you eventually find yourself beating yourself up.
@@Anino_Makata I mean it was an imperial German firearm
I am reading Churchill's account in his biography "My Early Life".
"I had purchased in London a Mauser automatic pistol, then the newest and latest design ".
His mauser is probably buried in some field in Europe
@@DamplyDoo According to Mr. Churchill he lost his in South Africa. That's why he got captured by the South African Boers.

I suggest getting your hands on as many gun from WW1 as you can and doing videos on them. Battlefield 1 is driving curiosity right now and it'd be a great way for this awesome channel to get much deserved views and educate people about the kind of firearms used during the first great war!
+Psynide That's what C&Rsenal is for.
there was only one great war.
I can't believe BF1 came out over 6 years ago...
Honestly my favorite pistol. Of course there are more practical and I would probably not conceal carry it or have it as an EDC, but God I have fallen hard for the C96
My grandfather was a pilot in WWII and brought one of these pistols home. It was given to him by a wounded GI after my GF had inquired about it. That, along with his Ithaca .45 in it's original shoulder holster, flag, and medals were given to me after he passed. While both guns are in excellent condition, I have fired the .45, but I have yet to fire the Mauser.
If you ever come across an Ithaca Model 37 shotgun from the era that you don't want, I'd be interested in buying one.
Wow, an awsome guy shooting an awsome gun.
Always a pleasure to hear and see an C-96 firing, and even more with a good looking shooter...
Great quality video, needs more.
That Mauser is CRISPY

Ah! A choice for an avid gun collector!.
It's a nice gun stranger.
The ending was one of the most absurdly awesome things I've ever seen online. Bravo!!
I laughed beautifully when you pulled out another one from the stock. I can only imagine the look on the enemies face when they think they can rush you when you reload and you gingerly empty another mag into them in a heartbeat
By the time you pull out the second pistol you can have probably reloaded two times over lol
02:57 That SMILE, priceless. 😊
Love the New York Reload at the end and the nod of approval.

Thank you for not talking for 5 hours and showing all aspects of the gun you damn legend
Why did I never know that it was full auto capable?! Seems like such a complicated design. Truly beautiful however. And I absolutely love that shirt!
That full auto model is the 712 schenlfur or something close to that nature on the name but there's not many 712 models out there, the waffen SS were no tedious for using the 712 models and c96's. The 712 models were made at Mauser and I believe the Spanish made a full auto copy but I don't remember the model designation
P.S. The 712 is semi and full auto, C96 is semi automatic only
"Ahh, a choice of an avid gun collector. It's a nice gun stranger."
That ending made me smile, awesome video!
I have been a fan of this pistol since the first time I read a Durango comic :P
Arguably the grandfather of the modern semi-auto pistol. I have a 1930s late production model. It is without doubt my favorite gun. The fit and finish on this 90 year old weapon is amazing. Finding ammo can be challenging, but it's out there, and I've been doing some reloading as well.
getting in on that Battlefield1 hype?
I made this video about a month ago. Posted today because a gif from it is making its way around the web.

This video is superb. Very good demonstration of the gun firing and loading and the end bit where you pull the second mauser from the stock/holster and shoot is just brilliant!

Никогда не перестаю считать маузер одним из лучших пистолетов современности. Старичок даст фору любому современному пистолету.
Get him he's out am...SHIT BACK INTO THE TRENCHES!!!
That last bit was originally in a Forgotten Weapons video, the maneuver is called "Broomception". I love my Mauser, it is such a marvelous piece of historic sidearm engineering art and a masterpiece! Those that hate it just can't afford it because anyone that's fired one immediately loves them.
Now THIS is gun porn on the level of those Japanese "guns of the world" vids.
Alex,
There are those of us who have either/and/or the 7.63mm/9mm that cannot afford to burn rounds downrange (2020/21 primer shortage ftl), and it is a guilty pleasure to come here and luxuriate in the melodic sounds of that beautiful bottleneck cartridge. Only those of us who have a C96 recognize that clicky-clack of a stripper clip into that box magazine, that distinctive report, that slight flippiness of the muzzle, and the joy of having an old functional warhorse over 105 years old. Respect. Thank you.
PS: The heat-treated bluing on the 7.63mm parts is beautiful...do all the serials match, including inside the wood grips and stock?
It's getting harder and harder to find matched stocks. Consider yourself lucky to get a matched early pistol that hasn't been refinished
That is a beautiful pistol.
The first semi auto one
This pistol is still a thing of pure excellence & always will be.
Dude thats so bad ass.
Art , Beauty , awesome design and machining .
Lot of Reddit front page worthy material in this video. Congrats for making it onto the front page!
I like how the sights are very precise and not big and blocky things that appear larger than your target in your sight picture.
Can't wait for BF1.
It's super overhyped and going to disappoint half a million people because it's WWI. "WHY CANT THIS SHOOT FULL AUTO?!?!?" "WHY IS THIS MAP SO FLAT" "WHY ARE THE TANKS SO SLOW?!?!"
+Matthew Pham There are plenty of full auto weapons.
The maps are extremely varied, not just European trench warfare. You got Arabia, trenches, the Alps, probably the eastern front, forests…
The vehicles will be feared and powerful, as they should be in a Battlefield game, and as they were in WW1.
All I'm not looking forward to is the influx of disappointed COD players getting their parents to buy the game for their 12 year old asses.
Toby Wood
Plenty of full auto weapons? Most of the weapons utilized by infantryman were bolt action rifles, full auto small arms didn't appear until late in the war. Tanks were also not effectively used until 1916, they'll be fairly limited for most of the game assuming it includes most of the war. You are right about the varied maps, however, they may not be used due to the lack of the US.
+Matthew Pham The US is going to be on the game, that's confirmed, and the game will have weapons from all throughout the war. It's a game designed to be more fun than historically accurate, so weapons from 1918 can be used on a map set in 1915.
+Matthew Pham Also, the tanks will probably be devastating. It's not like in BF4 where every man, woman, and dog has an RPG. There will be a few Mauser T Rifles and anti tank grenades, but the vehicles have been described as "something to be feared, as they should be" by developers. The combination of heavy cannon combines with multiple smaller MGs on one vehicle will be a force to be reckoned with against infantry and cavalry.
I was not expecting that ending.... The Broomhandle is sick!!!
When you pulled the same gun out of the buttstock I was like, oh fuck no! the space-time continuum cannot handle this shit!
Found it interesting, the hangtime the brass has. The last five rounds fired from the backup one in the stock, then hearing the brass casings impacting the ground. Nice.
2:53 That's German over-engineering at it's finest. :'D
The best shooting-video I`v seen for a long time ! Greetings from Sweden !
I've wanted one of these since reading Jon Sable: Freelance by Mike Grell way back in the 80's.
I'd pay for a new one, with a new barrel, detachable box mags. Just don't want to deal with a shot-out one, which is all I've found at gun shows locally.
Nice tee shirt, by the way :)
what does shot-out mean ?
Good luck trying to afford these. They are VERY expensive
@@wtf-hc3tp how much do they cost?
Lil Clout they can price up to 500$ to 3000$ (6000$ for a rare one)

Such a unique gun plus an inspiration for Han Solo's blaster so you it's cool :)

The little metal nub on the side of the hammer is genius.
I think , for me this is the most modular gun ever made... superb.
Probably my favorite gun of all time. This or the Colt Single Action Army.
i love how the holster doubles as a stock, surprised we dont see that anymore
It is not only a beauty, I think is the best pistol ever made.
Gee! You polished this pistol to a shine!
the shooting sound of this pistol is so satisfactory to listen to
I screamed when you pulled the second gun out of the stock. I need this in my life.
I agree with Mr Putnam regarding having a second gun in the stock was really great 👍 I bought a C96 years back at a gun show. I met a vendor who was very knowledgeable and had quite a collection of C96’s. After a while he asked me if I could watch his table while he hit the mens room. I was surprised that he trusted me and told me his friend a couple of tables away could handle any possible sales. He was gone about 20 minutes and when he returned he asked if I wanted to by a C96. I told him I didn’t have the money for such a pistol. I guess he wanted me to have one because for $175.00 I got a “parts” C96,holster and 500 rounds of 7.63 x 25 ammo. I still have it and enjoy shooting it. I recently took it to a range and the girl at the check in said “wow that looks like Han Solo’s blaster “. So it does!!
This is my favourite handgun.
i'm very impressed with that sound quality!👏
This never grows old!
You gots a bad pistol flinch. Not busting chops, just being observant.
Thanx for the videos.
Heckuva New York reload at the end. Love it. Never thought of that.
Every time I see this beauty I can't help myself but think of Han Solo's Blaster. So glad they chose this beautiful pistol as inspiration.
This is this is , I don't have words. ♥️
I like the sound it makes; like the world's loudest finger snap
