The mauser C96 thread: Arewegonnaseeit?

[5mirkeh 98]

Are we really going to see a weapon the devteam has been hinting at or are we just getting sh*t on by the trickster devs?, If yes what kinda ammo will it chamber and what kinda gun stats will it have?

[Conkykillz 791]

I am sure after your Sincere Request, they will just drop everthing and add it. That is what i would do.......  that way we will have everthing in the game we want. I want a Unicorn with mobile rocket launcher mounted on each side

 

 

Sorry i forgot to say Please

According to this, it's in the pipeline, but way way back.

Looks like your going have to wait till they put in most of the confirmed weapons first. Like everything in DayZ:

 

 

"It's coming"

 

 

 

Also, asking for gun stats was probably a little optimistic :L

One of the Devs wants to add it, he even made a model I think, if it gets in it'll be a Red9 so it'll chamber 9mm and I'm guessing a 10 round mag.

This isn't really a "request", he's asking a pretty valid question because the devs have been teasing us that it's a possibility for a while and they've grown on more and more about it.

 

Whether or not they'll actually come forward is a different story, as they love surprising us, especially those who of us are fanatic about firearms they want, including the C96.

Wiki is community ran... the "speculated weapons" area is for guns that have been hinted at by the devs but never actually confirmed in a statement, devblog, or have appeared in the game files.

 

I actually added the C96 to that section simply because Chris Torchia has said that plenty of times (especially in response to AP_Norris, who loves the C96) that he's talked with the rest of the team about adding it. The nail on the head of the coffin was his recent post about the C96 having adjustable sights up to 1km.

 

He could have been just looking at guns and gotten a cool picture, but based on what he's said, he seems to be hinting at it coming, with the picture being a reference screenshot for modeling. (one of many, probably.)

 

It's pretty probable at this point, more so than any other handgun (save for the flaregun), and I would not at all be surprised if it made it in. However, don't get your hopes up until we see a model or it shows up in experimental, because anything can happen before and/or during development, and that's just assuming we aren't just be teased.

THAT would be awesome, especially with the full stock.

For OP; usually they don't reveal stats of firearms at all and typically you have to dig in the game files or test them out ingame in order to see them.

 

I'm 99% sure any Mauser they add will be a "Red 9" in 9x19mm, because adding a brand-new 7.63x25mm caliber (or converted 7.62x25mm Tokarev Mausers) doesn't seem like something that would happen for just a pistol. The other 0.99% of me says that if it's not a 9x19mm, it'll probably be a Chinese .45 ACP copy, because that's still a caliber already available ingame.

 

As for capacity, the Mauser is very unique in that it can be handloaded/chambered, fed through stripper clips, and magazines. I can't foresee how the devs plan on doing it, but it'll almost certainly have a default capacity of 10 rounds and a possible "upgraded" 20 round magazine, giving it the highest capacity of any handgun in the game. (and a decent default capacity)

 

Accuracy wise, the Mausers are actually known to fall fairly short (Especially during WW2.) The machining quality heavily dictates how the gun performs (Mausers especially), and adding to the fact that standard manufacture ended in 1933 and overall poor environmental conditions, bad feedback on accuracy during WW2 may not apply all around. As a pistol, however, it'll get the job done and for the most part outweigh the P1 in terms of usefulness.

(Worthy of note is that it can be zeroed out to 1000 meters/1km, so anyone who can train themselves well with the pistol may actually be more effective with it than any other handgun)

 

Damage-wise it'll be based on whatever round you get.... 9x19mm will be the same as the P1/CR75, .45 ACP will be 1911/FNX, other calibers could vary.

 

Attachment-wise you're going to be fairly limited (I tend not to include variety of magazines/loading methods as modularity.) There are iconic full stocks that were available, and as with any gun, a good number of aftermarket parts to boot. If it does get anything, I wouldn't expect it to be more than the stock, simply because Mausers are not popular for aftermarkets and attachments for sidearms in general is pretty limited.

 

 

That's my $0.02. There's no real way of knowing what it'll be like until (if) it gets ingame. For all we know it could have a 319 round capacity and shoot out 40mm grenades. I just based my ideas off of existing evidence about gameplay, and the rest on simply what's common/popular/well-known about the Mauser. For what will actually happen; we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm still waiting for the goat with mounted Cal .50 I asked a year ago

[B4GEL 175]

It's a gun that would actually fit the theme much better than most people think, it's in all the old Russian action films (along with the Nagant pistol and obrez). Shame about the ammo though.

Dude.... I didn't even know i wanted that until i read your post. But now....

[igor-vk 909]

Ugly as f@ck! But interesting and original weapon. I doubt that pistol round can make any damage at 1000m, and I doubt that you can aim with ironsights past 600-700 m in game. Sight covers target.
