description
The Langenhan army pistol is a recoil loader with a mass breech in the caliber 7.65 mm Browning . The return spring sits over the fixed barrel, the cases are ejected to the right. The cartridges are fed from a single-row, eight-shot magazine. The lock is held in place by a single screw which tends to loosen with wear. If the shooter does not notice this, the lock can come loose, hit and injure him.
commitment
A total of 50,000 (55,000) of these pistols were manufactured and delivered to the Imperial German Army from 1915. After the First World War , the guns were wielded by the police.
