Mauser C96

[AP_Norris 1017]

The Mauser C96 is my favourite gun of all time.

I'll make this short because I want to leave what version of the gun is used up to discussion.

Cool gun which doesn't fit the setting.

 

It was used by the Germans during the 2. World War. And as far as I know, Germany invaded Russia. Maybe these guns from dead German soldiers have been sold and spread to the countries surrounding Russia.

 

Yes. I'm a very smart man.

 

I like the C96. It could be used as a sidearm :)

There is a M4 rifle in the game but no AK-47 HMMM.

hello there

 

I want a "Red 9" version.

Well that firearm has been there but who say that in the Chernarus history Germany invaded Chernarussia? From what i see it must have been the Americans since you have a ton of M4, M14, Mk48 and DMRs. So it's only logical to see a ton of 1911s.

BTT: tbh a lot of firearms were spread over the entire globe but if you take the time into account when they were spread how many could have been left and how many are still in working condition? A lot of those trophies were kept in lockers or wherever asan "heirloom" and almost never taken out. And it doesn't automatically mean they have a stash of ammo with them and very old ammo goes really bad if unattended or stored in the wrong way. A workbuddy has a bucket of ammo for his AK stored abroad he said he has to clean the casings before he could think of using them due to the corrosion.

[AP_Norris 1017]

I would definitely like to see the stock (holster) and maybe even a scope mount.

But it could use 9mm x19 or 7.63x25mm.

The 9mm would have to be the red 9 with a visual red 9 on dat famous broom handle.

That's why a red 9 version would be great.

Uses 9mm

[AP_Norris 1017]

Added poll :) please vote.

[Space Milk 195]

9mm wpuld make the most sense.

Many pistols use the same ammo.

Never heard of 7.63....

[o_grande_rafael 24]

i would say it is a very improbable gun to find in such enviroment. a p-38 in 9mm would be more apropriate, and they are harder to break.

[terminal_boy 860]

No.

[k120 42]

Yes,original C96 as extremely rare loot and ammo even more rare.

 

I remember big stash of StG 44's were found from Syria some time ago,why not C96's from Chernarus?  B)

[Hakiki 10]

"Eh, sure."

 

But most likely the 9mm parabellum variant, and possibly include other handguns that use the 9mm rounds (seing as it's the most used handgun ammuntion on the globe I believe?)

It makes perfect sense to the setting as well, seeing as loads of such weapons surely was dropped along the eastern front during WW2, and has surely been kept as family heirlooms.

 

They should however be rare imho, and seing as there is already 2 handguns in game, both of which are probably better, this is something that if it happens will be years down the line I hope.  Next weapon I am hoping for is a shotgun, since there is at least ammo for it in-game already.

 

And once a shotgun is introduced I hope they don't work on more weapons for the time being.  That would leave us with plenty of variety in weaponry already, and other things should take a much higher priority to fix and implement.

[Mos1ey 6301]

There is a M4 rifle in the game but no AK-47 HMMM.

 

It should be obvious that they haven't quite finished adding weapons yet...

 

I'm positive that we'll see at least one AK variant. The AK-74 was in the closed alpha, but was removed once they switched to the new system as the M4 and Mosin are the only ones that have been completed at this point.

[w1lg5r 70]

makes sense that a few would have ended up in chernarus and would add to the game with the clip system. Should do high damage to balance the complicated reload in my opinion.

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

Norris is Obsessed...

 

If a Tokarev is added, it should be 7,63X25 but can use 7.62x25. would just be a cool little thing.

 

Just an FYI, Over 1 million were made in Germany between 1896-1937, and unknown numbers were made in Spain and China. They were used by the Russian military extensively, and the round was modified to become 7.62 Tokarev. They were used all over the world, from the world wars, Revolutions, and one of the latest uses, the 1979-89 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the later American Invasion. Hundereds of thousands were sold on the civilian market all over the world, mostly Europe.

Although no longer a common sight (In America, atleast) there are undoubtedly atleast 500,000 hidden in Desks and under beds around the world. 

 

I don't see why they wouldn't be in Chernarus.

[AP_Norris 1017]

If I was obsessed would I be going around spamming weapon topics and starting topics for a single gun?

I think not.

[OrLoK 16182]

Hello there

 

Im obsessed about the Mauser.

 

Very fascinating weapon. Will it be in? who knows? But anything that inspires Han Solo's pistol is groovy.

Well the Germans did have control of Czechoslovakia during WW2. DayZ's setting is in the Czech Republic. It would make sense if they added it.

9mm rounds: Easy to find, lower recoil and kick than .45 ACP (which does has quite a kick) can hold more rounds, more accurate, and is very quiet.

Far from obsolete.  Although against players there would be better options like .45, this would be a good zombie killer gun, along with any .22LR.

[AP_Norris 1017]

I would definitely like the Red 9 version, unless as 'thedogfoodyayho' says we get a Takerov or other guns that match some of the rounds.

I think it is pretty likely we get a 9mm at some point though with its global popularity.

I would like to bring up attachments as well, the stock/ holster is a pretty definite yes for me.

But I have seen pictures of it with scopes and front grips with long barrels.

I have seen extended internal magazines.

Clips should definitely be included.

Any others, what do my fellow C96 fans think?

[stielhandgranate 480]

The Waffen SS used the C96 in small numbers during the second world war so I could see it being a rare item found in houses as bringbacks were common during all fronts. I'm all for rare items that aren't game breaking. In fact a small amout of WW2 surplus besides Mosin Nagants would be welcome.

[AP_Norris 1017]

I wouldn't mind finding incredibly rare loot boxes in those houses with the attics.

In the box could be some dusty old WW1/ 2 stuff cool Russian uniform and a Takerov.

Or German WW1 Uniform and C96 maybe a WW2 Uniform with a Luger.

MP40's, Mosins, Mauser 98k, Nazi Germany Badges/ Soviet stars and stuff.

A one man stockpile of awesome stuff.

Always wanted something like that. I found one in my late grandparents attic. Iron cross, a French helmet, my grandpa's Dress uniform, webbing/belt, and helmet, and a P38 magazine along with a few French coins. Kind of an odd osortment of stuff, but awsome none-the-less.
