This video explores three rare Mauser 1912/14 prototypes chambered in .45 ACP, developed to compete in the US and South American markets. It details three distinct delayed blowback mechanisms: a pivoting wedge, a simplified lever, and the standard flapper system. These tool-room prototypes never reached commercial production, showcasing Mauser's experimental approach to adapting their designs for a more powerful caliber.
The Mauser 1912/14 is a rare automatic pistol featuring a unique flapper-delayed blowback system, mechanically similar to later roller-delayed designs. Developed as part of a unified pistol family, it required a 'cheater lever' for manual slide operation due to its strong delay mechanism. Production was limited to under 200 units, ceasing in 1914 due to WWI and the death of Paul Mauser.
