Talk:Thunderbolt and Lightfoot

That Mauser is not a M712 (no selector switch) but the barrel is too long for it to be a Bolo, which is the only other variant that the C96 page lists as having been available with a 20 round magazine. Any ideas as to which version it is? I'd rather not change it until I can actually identify the variant.--PistolJunkie 04:44, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

I believe there was also a semi-auto version only called the M711. It also took a detachable magazine. Possibly the one used in the movie was converted to full auto? I'll do some research. --Jcordell 23:09, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Okay I'm slightly wary of this info, but I found this on Wikipedia. If nothing else it's a start.

The US National Firearms Act of 1934 placed a $200 tax on machine guns making exports of the Schnellfeuer guns to the US impractical. After World War 2, importers sold a semi-automatic conversion of the detachable magazine Schnellfeuer that was made for the US surplus market.

So once again perhaps one tht was converted to full auto later? --Jcordell 23:12, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
