Mauser guns have many names, such as box gun, box gun, speed machine, self-help, big mirror and so on. This kind of pistol has the advantages of great power, reliable action and convenient use, and is widely circulated in many countries in the world.
During the warlords' scuffle in the Republic of China, China was embargoed by the great powers at that time, while western countries imposed a military embargo on China, and rifles were not allowed to enter developing countries. Handguns are not included in the embargo. As a pistol, mauser pistol has similar firepower to submachine gun and can be imported in large quantities. Both the Beiyang government and Zhang Zongchang have purchased such weapons in large quantities.
The musket has a total length of 288 mm, a caliber of 7.63 mm and a weight of 1.25kg. It uses 6 rounds and 65,438+00 rounds of fixed magazines or 20 rounds of detachable magazines. The shooting mode is single shot and continuous shot, with a range of 50-65,438+050m and a firing rate of 900 rounds per minute. The mauser gun is exquisitely made, reliable in performance, good in fire continuity and powerful. In China, government troops, guerrillas, civilian armed forces, even landlords, guards and bandits are all equipped with mauser guns, and everyone is proud to own a mauser gun. For more than half a century, muskets have been favored in China.
From 1895 to 1939, Mao Se Company produced about 1 10,000 muskets of various models, and about 400,000 of them flowed into China.
At that time, China's arsenals were also competing for imitation, such as Hanyang, Gongxian Arsenal, Tianjin Dagu Shipyard, Shanxi Military Training Institute, Chongqing Ordnance Repair Institute and Hengyang Ordnance Bureau. And for decades, China has copied more than 2 million mauser guns, far exceeding the original manufacturing country. China is full of muskets.
In the process of using, China people have overcome the defects in the use of muskets, such as smooth sight, convenient and quick gun drawing, horizontal shooting to overcome muzzle jitter and so on. Although mauser pistol was born in Germany, it has been developed in China.
Mauser guns were used in the Agrarian Revolutionary War, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Liberation War and even the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. A large number of mauser guns were equipped from the late Qing government, warlords of the Republic of China, the National Government, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army. The musket has made great contributions to the ups and downs of China for more than half a century.
Until the early days of the People's Republic of China, with the progress of gun technology, submachine guns began to equip troops in large numbers, and Mao Se pistols gradually withdrew from the stage.
