The Mauser military pistol, which was disliked by Europeans, was regarded as a treasure by the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in China, and was called a box gun in China because of the fierce and continuous fire of the twenty-round magazine. Audiences who have watched "Bright Sword" know that Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei led two subordinates, and four people and eight box cannons in the restaurant annihilated all the Japanese troops in a room. In the TV series "Snow Leopard", Zhou Weiguo organized a commando team, which also changed the box gun to a model that could shoot shoulder to shoulder, and the box gun with twenty round clips was equivalent to a submachine gun.
The official name of the box gun is called the Mauser military pistol, and to the surprise of military fans, this pistol known as the "cannon" has little to do with the Mauser brothers in weapon design. The box gun is not the work of the Mauser brothers, but the masterpiece of the Federer brothers of the Mauser Arsenal. Under German law at the time, individuals were not allowed to patent weapons, and the gun was ultimately owned by the Mauser Arsenal. On December 11, 1895, mauser Arsenal patented the production of this pistol, and the following year it was officially produced, named the C96 7.63 mm Mauser military pistol, also known as the Federer semi-automatic pistol.
The Mauser military pistol is widely known in China as "box gun", in addition to this title, Chinese also called it a shell gun, a self-propelled, a fast and slow machine, a magazine gun, and so on. Li Yunlong once said to Xiuqin that this is a German mirror box. In "Latent", Cui Ping tells Yu Zecheng to give her a fast and slow machine, and Lu Qiaoshan was shot in the head by Mauser's military pistol. According to mauser arsenal statistics, the company produced about 1 million Mauser military pistols in 40 years, of which 70% were sold to China. Yan Laoxi took the lead in purchasing a batch of Mauser military pistols to equip his own guards.
The main reason why Europeans dislike the Mauser military pistol is actually its high price, and the price of a Mauser military pistol can buy several ordinary pistols. Since this gun is not easy to use and expensive, it is understandable that it was abandoned by the Germans. Pistols that no country wants to use are very popular in China, which is actually a helpless move. In the twentieth generation, China was in a period of warlord chaos for a long time, and countries around the world imposed arms embargoes on China. However, pistols are regarded as self-defense weapons by Europeans and Americans and are not in the embargo.
Mauser's military pistol, which has a large and inaccurate recoil and accuracy, was used by Chinese to be fascinated, Chinese the pistol was turned flat and fired, and the backward shaking became a strafing, and the Mauser military pistol became a weapon to kill the enemy in the War of Resistance Against Japan. In the Battle of Kunlun Pass in December 1939, the death squads organized by the Gui Army had no submachine guns available, so each soldier had to fight with two old-fashioned Mauser military pistols. The result of the battle was that although this death squad suffered heavy casualties, it killed a large number of Japanese troops and completed the combat mission.
