Borchardt C - 93 The Borchardt C - 93 pistol was designed by Hugo Borchardt ( 1844 – 1921 ) in 1893 . Ludwig Loewe & Company of Berlin , Germany , a manufacturer of machine tools , produced the C - 93 , a semi - automatic pistol that he had invented based upon the Maxim toggle - lock principle . Borchardt also developed the high - velocity bottlenecked 7 . 65×25mm Borchardt cartridge for the C - 93 . Borchardt ' s assistant at the time , Georg Luger , also claimed to have influenced its design . With over 3 , 000 manufactured by Loewe and Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken , Borchardt C - 93 was the first mass - produced semi - automatic pistol . The pistol used a toggle lock system , which meant that when the gun fired , a two - piece arm rose and flexed as the gun recoiled , thus allowing the breech to unlock and release the empty cartridge case . DWM employed Georg Luger to promote the Borchardt pistol in military and commercial channels . The pistol was tested by the U . S . Navy as early as 1894 and later by the U . S . Army . Although it was accurate and its rate of fire was rapid , the Borchardt pistol was expensive to produce and unwieldy to handle due to its almost vertical grip and distribution of weight . Furthermore , its recoil was unexpectedly powerful . These criticisms were noted in the Swiss Army field tests . However , Borchardt refused to make any changes to his original design . DWM then appointed Georg Luger to make the requested improvements to the pistol . Luger took the Borchardt design , using the shorter 7 . 65×21mm Parabellum cartridge , which allowed him to incorporate a shorter stroke of the toggle mechanism and a narrower , angular grip . Luger ' s design eventually became the Luger Parabellum pistol . The cartridge used in the Borchardt C - 93 Pistol was the basis for the primary cartridge used in the Mauser C96 pistol ( 7 . 63×25mm Mauser ) ; they have the same dimensions , but the 7 . 63 mm Mauser generally had a more powerful powder charge ( contemporary loading data indicated it took approximately 20 % more powder than the Borchardt ) and is considered to be too strong to be used in a Borchardt C - 93 . Nonetheless , cartridge boxes from some manufacturers were marked " For Borchardt and Mauser Automatic Pistols . " The Borchardt C - 93 was manufactured and sold solely in its proprietary caliber , the 7 . 65×25mm Borchardt . Some test models were made in 7 . 65×21mm Parabellum and 9×18mm Borchardt , an experimental bottlenecked cartridge developed in 1902 .

Roth Steyr Model 1907 The Roth Steyr Model 1907 or just M1907 is a smi - automatic handgun used by Austria in the World War I . Description . The Roth Model 1907 pistol bears the distinction of the first semi - automatic ( self - loading ) pistol that was ever adopted by any major military force in the world . In this particular case , it was the cavalry of the Austro - Hungarian empire . The pistol was based on patents of famous Austrian gun designers Georg Roth and Karel ( Charles ) Krnka . This pistol was manufactured between 1907 and 1918 , and some 90 000 Roth M . 07 pistols were made at Steyr and FEG arms factories . The Roth Model 1907 pistol uses short recoil action with rotary barrel . barrel has two sets of radial lugs , each consisting of two lugs . Front pair of lugs , which is located near the barrel , follows the cam tracks cut in the stationary barrel bushing , thus forcing the barrel to rotate upon recoil . The rear set of lugs locks the barrel to the forward bolt extension when barrel is in forward position . Upon recoil , the barrel rotates and the rear lugs leave their mortises in the bolt extension , unlocking the bolt and allowing it to recoil freely to complete operating cycle . The feed is from integral box magazine , which is located inside the grip . Magazine is loaded from special stripper clips that are inserted into the loading \ ejection port at the top of the gun . Once the clip is inserted , shooter presses the cartridges from the clip and into the magazine , then removes the empty clip and presses bolt release button , to close the bolt and make the pistol ready to fire . The trigger of the Roth M . 07 pistol was of quite advanced design . The gun was striker - fired , and the striker was only partially cocked after each shot . To complete the cocking and then release the striker , shooter have to full the trigger all the way back . Since integral the magazine was loaded from the top , pistol had a special " magazine release " button , which allowed to unload all cartridges in magazine at once , once the bolt is manually locked back .

The cloth tab is 3 inches wide and is teal blue with yellow embroidered letters . A metal Special Forces Badge is authorized for wear on the mess / dress uniforms and green shirt . The metal badge is teal blue with a gold edge and gold letters . At the time of its creation , the Special Forces Tab was retroactively awarded to any Army soldiers previously Special Forces - qualified . In addition , as set forth in Army regulations , veterans of certain categories of former wartime service are also eligible for retroactive awards of the tab . Among these are : Before creation of the Special Forces Tab , Special Forces status was indicated by wearing a full - size unit flash on the green beret . A support soldier ( military intelligence soldiers , signal personnel , parachute riggers , clerical and administrative personnel , etc . ) assigned to a Special Forces unit wore a 1 / 4 " high bar below the Special Forces Crest on their green beret . The bar matched the colors of the unit ' s flash . This was not , however , the norm during the Vietnam war , when all soldiers assigned to 5th Special Forces wore identical unit flashes .
