The Mauser C96 (commonly called the "Broomhandle" or "Broomhandle Mauser" due to its distinctive grip) was a German semi-automatic pistol manufactured from 1896 to circa 1937. It was one of the first semi-automatic pistols to see widespread use and was copied in Spain and China. There are several major variants, though continual product improvement at the Mauser factory led to dozens or hundreds of individual variations arising over four decades of manufacture.
- The original C96 was the full-sized, ten-shot model in 7.63x25mm Mauser.
- The "Bolo" model was produced in limited numbers before the First World War, then produced exclusively by Mauser for most of the 1920s due to restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles.
- The "Red 9" was a 9x19mm model produced to fill a contract for the German army during the First World War. As it was externally identical to the concurrently produced 7.63mm version, its caliber was prominently marked on each side of the grip.
- The "Schnellfeuer" was introduced in the early 1930s, in response to the select-fire C96 copies produced in Spain by Beistegui Hermanos. It used ten or twenty round detachable magazines and a select-fire mechanism designed by J. Nickl (early) or K. Westinger (most commonly seen). The Schnellfeuer is popularly known as the "M712", though this designation seems to have originated in a Stoeger catalog and not at the Mauser factory.
- The Astra 900 was another Spanish copy, produced by Unceta & Cia. It retained the overall shape and locking system of the C96, but used a trigger mechanism of original design.
- The Astra 903 was Unceta's equivalent of the Schnellfeuer, though unlike Beistegui's later versions the 903 was not compatible with Schnellfeuer magazines.
- The Type 17 was a .45 ACP version produced in Shanxi, China under the orders of ruling warlord Yan Xishan in order to maintain ammunition compatibility with the Thompson M1921 clones his Taiyuan factory already produced. C96 copies of varying quality were also produced by Chinese arsenals at Hanyang, Taku, and several other locations.
The Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" pistol and variants has been seen in the following films and television shows used by the following actors:
