"GotW: Mauser C96"
 
   I'd've added this to that Gun of the Week, but it hasn't had a write up (yet?)... anyway, as aficionados probably know, the C-96 (Broomhandle) came with a wooden holster that could double as a shoulder stock. Pretty ingenious design, I must say... but I hadn't thought of doing THIS!

mostly because who the hell has TWO of the things???

EPU Trivia: The first one he fires is the rare and interesting M712 Schnellfeuer machine pistol variant. Hannelore von Hammer has one over in Our Witches at War.

Here's Ian of Forgotten Weapons demonstrating one, just the other day.

As an aside, the Model 712 wasn't produced until the 1930s, so presumably Hannelore carried a regular C96 during the Great War.
