* In WWI, C96s were used by Austro-Hungarian tail gunner. C96 known uses equipped with high-velocity bullet and long barrel to guarantee a higher accuracyin the era. While the effect of this modified C96 is like shotgun when hitting the target's aircraft due the lightweight material they've it used(mostly from canvas), it would take a longer time to reload each pistol.<ref>[http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/austro-hungarian-aircraft-gunner-mausers-1917/ Modified C96 page]</ref>
* The Trench Version of C96, M1917 Trench Carbine was manufactured in order to improve ability for trench raid and compete with 32-round Drum Magazine P08. M1917 Trench Carbine preferred 40-round box magazine and come with fixed buttstock over the original removable stock. However, due of manufacturing cost which affect other firearms production without firing mechanism improvement, the M1917 Trench Carbine ended with only a small quantity being manufactured. With Versailles Treaty signed, most of them was destroyed; thus making M1917 Trench Carbine extremely rare for collector with $34,500 for an unit.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161008125950/https://jamesdjulia.com/item/1268-369/ M1917 Trench Carbine on James D.
