* In WWI, C96s were used by Austro-Hungarian tail | * In WWI, turrets mounting 10 C96s were used by Austro-Hungarian tail gunners. The high-velocity bullet and long barrel of the C96 ensured reasonable accuracy and was more than capable of penetrating enemy aircraft, which were mostly made of canvas during this period. The aiming handle would fire all ten pistols at once; given how closely together the pistols are mounted, the results could have been devastating. Unfortunately, each C96 could only hold 10 rounds of ammunition, meaning the gunner would get 10 volleys of 10 shots before needing to reload. Reloading each of the pistols, especially during a dogfight, would have been challenging, to say the least.<ref>[http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/austro-hungarian-aircraft-gunner-mausers-1917/ Modified C96 page]</ref> | ||
* | * A trench-warfare C96 variant, the M1917 Trench Carbine, was manufactured in response to the German Empire's requests for greater infantry firepower in order to improve ability for trench raids. A competitor with the 32-round Drum Magazine P08, the M1917 Trench Carbine had a 40-round detachable box magazine and came with a fixed buttstock instead of the original removable stock. However, due to manufacturing costs and a lack of resources to dedicate to further development, the M1917 Trench Carbine was never officially adopted and only a small number were manufactured. After the Treaty of Versailles was signed, most of them were destroyed; sources estimate only 3 or 4 of these carbines still exist today. Collectors have paid as much as $34,500 to get their hands on one.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161008125950/https://jamesdjulia.com/item/1268-369/ M1917 Trench Carbine on James D.
