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 Bond Arms Bullpup9, utilizing a Boberg rear-feeding design, demonstrates lower slide velocity and less muzzle flip in high-speed testing compared to the SIG P365, Kahr PM9, and Rohrbaugh R9. However, its technical advantages are outweighed by a long trigger reset and specific malfunctions. The SIG P365 is preferred for its superior trigger, higher capacity, and overall reliability.
