    A note: While _Rittmeister_ does indeed literally mean "riding master", in the context of the Kaiser's army (and other Germanic and Nordic armies of the time), it was specifically a cavalry officer's rank, equivalent to the non-cavalry rank of _Hauptmann_ (captain).

    • @stefanpajung113

      This is also the reason why Manfred von Richthofen - The Red Baron - was promoted to the rank of Rittmeister, not to Hauptmann in April 1917. He originally had transferred to the air service from the cavalry, so he kept using that rank structure.

    About the price difference between the Red 9 and the standard Mauser pistol: this was probably just because of the inflation. 60 RM in 1914 were worth 78 in 1916, 91 in 1914 and 82 in 1918 (gold standard)

    I think this episode does a really good job of showing how the entire Personal Defense Weapon concept was born. The M1 Carbine of WW2 proved to be exactly the kind of weapon to solve the problems presented in this episode--you need one weapon for troops needing something better than a pistol but lighter, handier, and smaller than a rifle. And so you get a light, handy carbine with plenty of firepower, good range, and something you can give to just about all kinds of troops that aren't riflemen.

    • @vksasdgaming9472
      @vksasdgaming9472 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I still find it strange that so much effort has been spent to problem which already has been solved: assault rifle, except that became the infantry rifle. So next step is compact submachine gun or machine pistol. Uzi with folding stock and Vz-61 Skorpion are nice fillers to that niche. Close range firepower in PDW is more important than long-range accuracy.

      The Jericho 941, or "baby eagle" or "desert eagle 9mm" is an even better quality of the same action... also Spike Spiegel's gun from Cowboy Bebop, they are so much cheaper, especially the older models the pistol from the anime is based on.

    In terms of wartime scarcity, I could see not needing to provide, maintain or replace magazines as a bonus to selecting a pistol like this.
    On that note, how many magazines would someone be able to requisition? If a low-ranking officer, assistant machine gunner, or some other auxiliary soldier only had a pistol, were they likely to get more than 2 magazines for their luger? There might be some merit to being able to stow away a few stripper clips versus feverishly trying to cram rounds into one of two depleted magazines while things were going poorly.

    • @jacktheaviator4938
      @jacktheaviator4938 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Stripper clips are trickier to manufacture than most people think. They tend to be made out of much better steel than a box magazine, and very tight tolerances to work well. And they are single use items. Box magazines are much more economical if the army is using European magazine retention protocols. And if you need more than two pistol magazines you should have already found a rifle.

    Great episode. Love them "Red 9s"; got 4 of them and I want the whole contract lot!!
    Used them in some IDPA-style matches against current plastic "wondernines" and surprisingly for all (me included) always managed to stay around top half of the scoreboard, clunky reloading (Good clips are a must), relatively slow firing rate and all. Trick is not to handle them above the wood line, kinda like the antique single-handed target shooting position; odd at 1st. but you get used to it; otherwise you'll end up with a sore hand between index finger and thumb.

    The dream pistol of mine, a friend of mine who has a 7.63 commercial one in nearly mint condition, let me shoot a magazine from it. We met at a range as we were talking about firearms. I mentioned that I had seen some at a gunshop for sale but in rough condition. I still regret not at least buying one.

    On stopping power I remember hearing stories of the bandits of the 20s and 30s carrying .30 Mauser or .38 super for its ability to punch car bodies or even the rudimentary early “bulletproof “ vests using them like an ancient 5.7 28 no clue if it’s true but that idea always caught my fancy

      also its very satisfying to find out that this pistol (well c96 in general) helped wrench back some control for Paul Mauser. A truly ingenious and revolutionary man screwed over by financial finagling.

    The Kaiser didn’t have a birth defect. He suffered a birth injury. his shoulder was shattered during birth and the nerves were damage to his arm. That is why he had very limited use of his arm or some say a withered arm. Love your content.

    The French soldiers in WWI had a nickname for the Mauser C96 (as well as to other fast repeating guns) « la machine à découdre » : « The unsewing machine » an analogy to the sewing machine and it’s repetitive sound. The word « découdre » referring to death.

    I liked the clips format. I think that's a lot easier to introduce to somebody who is not hardcore. You might say it's a lot more shareable.

    Ahh, a choice of an avid gun collector. It's a nice gun stranger.
