Mauser C96

Deise ist ein Broomhandle (bad, bad German...)

   I don't know where to start with this... Have you ever seen Star Wars? Well, did you know that Han Solo's (Harrison Ford) gun was a modified Mauser? Granted, many of the firearms used in the first three movies were based on Second World War goodies. The Mauser C96, or Broomhandle as it was sometimes nicknamed, had an integral box magazine which hadn't been used much on pistols before. It was generally fed by a stripper clip, which held ten 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridges until it became chambered in other calibers. The C96 came with a wooden carrying case which doubled as an attachable stock, and soon after a carbine version of the pistol was made with a longer barrel and a forend. An automatic variant called the "Schnellfeuer" (basically meaning "Fast Fire") was developed with a detachable box magazine and selector switch... I reckon you'd want the stock for that...

   The reason why I modeled a C96 was because someone wanted one for their environment. Well actually they didn't know which gun they wanted so I searched up some firearms relevant to her scene. Figuring out how to do the barrel was the tough, since it transitions from a smoothed barrel to the more polygonal frame. Everything else after that was quite simple, all I had to keep in mind was to keep it low poly.
