Work in progress. Will be done within a day or two.

The following weapons appear in the film Lifeforce:

Mauser C96

Captain Jie (Cheung-Yan Yuen), Uncle Noh (Paul Chun) and various Shanghai policemen use Mauser C96 pistols. These do not appear to be "Red 9" or Shansi broomhandles.

Pre-War dated Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser. Note the rear tangent sight; in something of a display of wishful thinking, the C96's sight is adjustable for ranges up to 1000 meters.

Captain Jie ends the fight between the Jing Wu school and Master Akutagawa's students, because the guy who will always win in a sword fight is the guy with the gun. (Notice that his pistol is not cocked, despite having fired a warning shot moments before.)
