Mauser Pistol

The  is an early automatic pistol featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Single Player

 * It can be purchased later in the game at the Blackwater gunsmith in the West Elizabeth chapter for $800 (or $400 if Honor is high enough or $1200 if Honor is low enough) and holds 15 rounds.

Multiplayer

 * In Multiplayer, it can be found in the small house within the Twin Rocks gang hideout.
 * The Mauser is unlocked upon reaching rank 49.
 * It is seldom found being used by players in Free Roam, due to it being unlocked at level 49 (the penultimate level of experience) and the fact that most players tend to enter Legend mode.
 * Maybe the most lethal weapon against any other player in any game mode, due to its somewhat large magazine size and high fire rate. It's also quite handy in hardcore free roam as it's fully-automatic.
 * The weapon will kill any NPC with one shot to the torso or head, making it very useful against Lawmen or malicious townsfolk.

Tips and Tricks

 * The Mauser pistol is a fully automatic gun, meaning that if the fire button is held down, the gun will shoot continuously until the magazine empties. However, the rate of fire is drastically reduced in multiplayer.
 * You can fire the Mauser Pistol quicker in multiplayer by firing it as a semi automatic gun, and rapidly tapping the fire button.
 * Having the largest magazine capacity of any pistol makes the Mauser an excellent candidate for Dead-Eye Targeting, as it allows to potentially paint fifteen different targets in one sequence.
 * Although it isn't the most powerful handgun available, the large magazine fires two or three shots into each target without constantly reloading.

Trivia

 * The Mauser is the gun John Marston uses in the loading screens.
 * There is an ad when you buy a newspaper in 1914 that promotes buying German products even though there is a war going on in Europe featuring the Mauser pistol. This may be understandable seeing as the United States wasn't hostile to Germany and boycotting German Products until the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915.
 * It is based fully on the automatic M712 Schnellfeuer verson of the Mauser C96. it is possible to tell that it is a M712 since it features a selector switch on the upper reciever and a detechable magazine (although Marston still loads from the top of the gun using stripper clips) both of which are visible on the image to the right (the text at the bottom of the image confusingly calls it a "semi-automatic Mauser pistol"). However, while the original semi-automatic mauser began production in 1896, the Schnellfeuer didn't enter production until 1927. Also, the Schnellfeuer was capable of around 1000 rounds per minute whereas the in game model is only capable of about 300 rounds per minute on full auto.
 * The Mauser C-96 was capable of a burst fire mode and was chambered for the 7.63x25mm.30 Mauser or even the 9x19mm Luger in later times.
 * China was able to make a sucessful copy of the C-96 chambered for the .45 ACP round in the 1930s
