About this mod
Adds a real, historical SMG to the game: the Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer.
- Permissions and credits
It adds a Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer SMG to the game, that you can buy and use. It does not replace any existing items.
The M712 Schnellfeuer is one of the many historical variants of the Mauser C96 'Broomhandle' pistol, and the only variant capable of fully automatic fire and with a 20 round detachable box magazine. It was chambered in 7.63x25mm (.30 Mauser), but it could chamber the Soviet 7.62x25mm (TT) round just as well.
Both are considerably more powerful than the 9x19mm Parabellum (9mm NATO) round, so the weapon could boast both better range and better stopping power than the more famous MP40 Schmeisser. In fact, until the development of the .357 Magnum, the 7.63x25mm round was the most powerful handgun round in the world.
In game, it shares the looks of the "Chinese Pistol", as both _are_ a Mauser C96 'Broomhandle', and it can be repaired with Chinese Pistols. Since I didn't feel like creating a new type of ammo, and also for a mean sense of balance, it shoots the .32 rounds in the game.
The weapon does slightly more damage per shot than even the Ultra SMG, but has the same rate of fire, and is about as accurate. It is more durable than the Ultra, but it will deteriorate with use eventually anyway. The downsides to balance it are the price, the high cost of repairs, the low magazine capacity, and especially the very limited amount of ammo available for it in the game. It's a SMG you'd whip out for a more difficult fight, not something to mow down molerats and cockroaches with.
