## **Details**

The Mauser C96 is a unique pistol that chambered for the 7,62x25mm cartridge, that comes available for Premium users only . It is the second strongest pistol and the first strongest if made dual but lacks the armor-piercing capabilities of the TT-33 or the handmade pistol, along with the 2 shot per use ammo consumption, heavyweight, and faster decay than any other true pistol, thus making the C96 a pistol not suited for common usage.

## **On history**

The Mauser C96 was found in Moscow's survivor cache in versions before 723. Also used to do only 50 - 70 damage and 40 - 100 dual wielded.

Designed by the Feederle brothers (Fidel, Friedrich, and Josef) and Paul Mauser in 1895 and started being produced in 1896, the Mauser C96 quickly became a popular pistol among civilians and the military, appraised by the design ergonomics and the powerful cartridge for which it was chambered for, the 7,63x25mm Mauser.

The soviet union purchased large quantities of a C96 variant which was significantly shorter on both handle and barrel, this smaller gun was called the "Bolo" and remained chambered for the 7,63x25mm Mauser round. The Chinese seeing the success of the gun made a copy of the C96 chambered for the more powerful soviet cartridge, the 7,62x25mm Tokarev.

Seeing its fair share of action around the world, the C96 pistol was present in major events of historical importance such as the assassination of Alexander the First of Yugoslavia, the prime minister of Spain Eduardo Dato, and the Russian imperial family.

In 1932 Mauser designed a select-fire version of the C96 intended for China and the Americas.

The name C96 Stands for *Mauser Construktion 1896*.

## **Trivia**

* Real C96 in Russia were called "Bolo".
* Only the Chinese version was chambered for the 7,62x25mm Tokarev round. The reason for the C96 in-game to be chambered for this round is possibly to not having to implement another type of ammunition for only one type of gun such as the revolver.
* It is possible to have dual C96s, but the player must wait until a game update that refreshes the safe heavens survivor’s cache comes along for another C96 to appear.
* A broken C96 can be obtained if you break your current C96.
* In-game, the C96 functions as a machine pistol with burst fire mode selected even though the C96 was a semi-automatic pistol.
