Just outta' curiosity...
Has anyone on here ever shot any type of an 1896 Broomhandle Mauser? My father and I collect a wide array of military weapons and we are considering purchasing one of these pistols. I was just wondering how they shoot, accuracy, ect. Here's a picture for reference:
Any information on the acutal shooting would be helpful.
I actually have plans laid out to start on a semi-auto Nerf pistol based on the Mauser design. Probably a four or five shot semi-auto pistol. I'm looking to start on that here in the next week.
Anyone Ever Shot One Of These...

Where exactly does the magazine go into the gun? It kinda looks like a Ruger my dad has.

I have never shot it, but I would get it because:
It may work well.
It is a older gun.
It was used as Han's gun.
It looks awesome.

The magazine is obviously on the front. But, it does not take a "box clip" like .45s and 9mms do. You load the gun by what is called a stripper clip.
And, yes... this was the gun that Han Solo's DL-44 pistol is based on. We decided to purchase of these beauties in 7.63x25 Mauser, but we're going to convert it to fire 9mm Parabellum.
