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.
 * Maybe most lethal weapon against any other player in any game mode, due to it's somewhat large magazine size and high fire rate. It's also quite handy in hardcore free roam as it's fully-automatic.



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, possibly a way to lessen its power.
 * 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.
 * The in-game Mauser pistol holds 15 bullets, the real-life Mauser pistol holds 6, 10, 20, or 40 bullets.
 * The Mauser fires absurdly fast in Singleplayer after targets are painted in Dead-Eye mode

Trivia

 * The Mauser is featured in several acclaimed Western films including Tepepa(1968) The Great Silence(1968) and Joe Kidd(1972).
 * In reality, a fully automatic version of this pistol known as the M712 Schnellfeuer was not created until the 1930's, and was not produced in any great volume.
 * The C-96, in real life, has many variants with differing magazine sizes, varying barrel lengths and 2 calibers, 9mm and 7.63mm.
 * The Waffen SS, a German military group during WWII, used this gun as a back auto/semi-automatic weapon.
