The Mauser M712 is the row fire version of the Mauser C96 model .
It was manufactured from 1932 to 1936. It was developed in 1931/32 from the Mauser rapid fire pistol M711 and was a reaction to Spanish plagiarism, which also had an interchangeable magazine. From the outside, it is a Mauser model C96 with a row fire device and a 10 or 20-round interchangeable magazine.
As with the basic model, the sheath can be used as an attachment shaft . There is a fire selector to switch between single and continuous fire.
It was produced with a caliber of 7.63 × 25 mm and was mainly exported to the Far East , where the C96 model was already well established as a replacement for long weapons that were not allowed to be exported to China from 1919 to 1929 due to a League of Nations embargo, as well as to South America . Since the US imposed an import duty of US $ 200 apiece on submachine guns from 1934 , it was unsuccessful in the US market.
A small number went to the Wehrmacht , Luftwaffe and SS .
Due to the high cadence and the low weight, the weapon as another series firearms can keep difficult at the finish.
