Mauser 712: technical characteristics of the Gletcher air pistol

Origins of the legend

The company itself was founded about one hundred and fifty years ago. Two brothers, Wilhelm and Peter, whose father devoted almost his entire life to serving in the royal arms company, founded a company for the production of firearms.

It is interesting that the legendary Mauser itself was not invented by the founding brothers. The authorship belongs to the Federle brothers, employees of the company at that time. However, the name of the company was included in the patent, and subsequently the surname of the owners was established as the founding fathers.

Why did this air pistol become a legend? It's simple: at that time it was a revolutionary breakthrough. The characteristics of the Mauser were admirable. At that time, there was no other equally powerful pistol with such dimensions.

Specifications:

One of two official pneumatic replicas of the legendary Mausers. The model, unlike similar versions of the Colt and Beret, is made entirely of plastic. The glossy sheen, which makes the plastic look somewhat cheap, is hidden by a matte coating.

The weapon is suitable both for shooting, as entertainment, and for collectors collecting copies of historically significant weapons, to which the Mauser belongs. Watch the video review of the model:

It is important to note that the prototype of the model, contrary to popular belief, was not the C96, but the C712. This is a modification of the C96, which was distinguished by a firing switch from single mode to automatic mode.

The pistol completely copies its prototype - even those notches that in the original were necessary to attach a holster that served as a butt are displayed with precision, although there is no holster in the pneumatic version. Read about the Beretta 92 fs auto air pistol here.

Review of Mauser C96 (M1932/M712 Schnellfeuer), export version for China

The design of the Mauser C-96 pistol was developed in 1893 by brothers Fidel, Friedrich and Josef Feederle (Fidel, Friedrich, Josef Feederle) and improved together with Paul Mauser and gunsmith Gaiser.
The finishing work was completed in 1895. At the same time, production of a trial batch began. On March 15, 1895, the pistol was demonstrated to Kaiser Wilhelm II. Paul Mauser patented the design in his name, receiving Reichspatent No. 90430 on September 11, 1895. Another patent was received in the UK. The official name of the pistol, given by it, which translated means “Self-loading Mauser pistol.” Since the beginning of production in 1910 of the pocket Mauser chambered for 6.35x15.5 HR, the pistol began to be called “C-96” (Construktion 96 - design of the 96th year). It should be clarified that this name was used only by sellers and importers. At the Mauser company, the pistol was still called the “Mauser-Selbstlade-Pistole”. Another official name is Model 1930. Other modifications have unofficial names, for example “Model 1912” or “Bolo”. For this pistol, a new 7.63x25 Mauser cartridge was developed, the design of which was based on the 7.65 mm Borchardt cartridge, but with an elongated sleeve and an increased powder charge. The initial bullet speed was 430 m/s, which was a record among pistols of that time. In addition, Mausers were produced chambered for 9mm Parabellum and, in small quantities, chambered for 9mm Mauser Export (9×25).

Waffenfabrik Mauser AG has repeatedly upgraded the C-96 design, subjecting it to a variety of, usually minor, changes. The largest number of modifications were created in the early period of production - from 1896 to 1905. They changed the length of the barrel, the capacity and shape of the magazine, the shape of the handle, the shape of the trigger, the grooves on the frame and the external finish. Some variants differ only in the location of the serial number. In total, collectors counted more than 130 different versions of the Mauser-Selbstlade-Pistole. The most popular type of early release is the model with a conical hammer, the so-called “Cone Hammer”. The main distinguishing feature is the trigger with conical cheeks. The pistol was produced with a 10-round magazine, a 140 mm barrel, and a sector sight marked at a distance of 50 to 1000 meters. There are also pistols with magazines with a capacity of 6 and 20 rounds. Approximately 16,000 Cone Hammer pistols were produced.

Issued between 1912 and 1918. pistols are classified as military issue. The reason is that in 1912 a new safety design was introduced - “Neue Sicherung”, and it is impossible to determine by the number whether such a pistol was produced in 1912 or 1915 due to the lack of archives. The new fuse was abbreviated as "NS". This monogram was made on the back surface of the trigger. The fuse head is made without a through hole. On the scope of the “Small Ring” models with the “Neue Sicherung” fuse, they did not put an o. About 130,000 of these pistols were produced.

Good accuracy and range. And the weapon itself is nice, fits easily and well in the hand and gives you a chance to touch history.

Gletcher M-712 will be an excellent gift for collectors of historical models.

The kit also includes a hex wrench and a spare screw for the gas canister. The weapon is made entirely of metal. The only addition is the plastic sides on the handle, which are made solely for aesthetic purposes. For a review of the pistol, watch the video:

The front sight on the pistol is not adjustable, but the rear sight is adjustable. In addition, the model can be used for both single shooting and burst shooting. The magazine fits tightly and is easily removed with the press of a button.

Using a hexagon, you can easily unscrew the plug, install the cylinder and reseal the container. You can load the magazine from both sides, but it is better to do it from the end of the drawn spring, where there is a special recess.

With this method, the end of the magazine itself, which should hold the balls tightly, is not ground down, since pushing the balls through it will require force to be fired.

The balls are fed one at a time by jerking the shutter. It goes quite smoothly. The declared rate of fire corresponds to that indicated in the technical data sheet of the product, but with each subsequent shot it becomes slightly less. However, this is absolutely normal for pneumatics.

As for the lethality of this Mauser, it is quite high. For example, he hits bottles easily.

The average retail price for a pistol is 8,500 rubles.

Description of the airsoft pistol WE Mauser M712 (6.0 mm)

The energy for firing is a liquefied mixture - green gas. The weapon is refilled according to the principle of a lighter.

However, there were some downsides. This model cannot be operated at temperatures below 10 degrees due to the nature of green gas. Also, you should not refuel with other liquefied gas mixtures, including carbon dioxide.

The main ammunition used is 6mm plastic pellets. They are loaded into the magazine in the amount of 26 pieces. The initial speed of the projectile when leaving the barrel reaches 120 m/s.

In terms of speed, this model can even compete with some airsoft versions of machine guns. The WE Mauser M712 airsoft gun can be fired in both automatic and semi-automatic modes.
