3D Animation: How the Schwarzlose Model 1898 Pistol works

The Schwarzlose Model 1898 was a semi-automatic pistol designed by German gun designer Andreas Wilhelm Schwarzlose (1867-1936) in the year 1898. It was one of the first pistol ever designed with less than 1000 manufactured. It was chambered for the 7.65×25mm Borchardt and 7.63×25mm Mauser calibers.
Andreas Wilhelm Schwarzlose served as an artilleryman and armorer in the Austro-Hungarian army. Schwarzlose also invented the Maschinengewehr (Schwarzlose) M. 7 (aka Schwarzlose MG), a medium machine-gun, used as a standard issue firearm in the Austro-Hungarian Army throughout World War I. During this time there were numerous companies attempting to produce semi-automatic pistols for the world market with only a handful actually coming to fruition.
The Schwarzlose design was advanced for its time, but not widely adopted. Small amounts were sold to the Boers during the Boer War. The Model 1898 has a rotating bolt mechanism, and is similar in design to the M16 series of rifles only 110 years earlier.

i swear it is always the great ones that get forgotten by time :/

It only has one spring that acts as the firing pin spring, barrel return spring and mainspring. That’s pretty cool.

La nambu 14 muy similar ,quizas los japoneses tubieron tal diseño

[@arkeropensamientos9069]

El problema de najiro nambu era que cada diseño de pistola sencilla lo hacía un mecanismo complicado, el nambu 14 era un pistola sencilla pero con muchas piezas innecesarias, internamente estaba atrasada incluso para su época, tenía un seguro poco fiable y no tenía reten de corredera o carro. En cambio este modelo alemán tiene los seguros fiables y único de un Kalashnikov, un perno como el de una R-15 y su detalle más hermoso además del diseño es su particular resorte que cumple dos funciónes. A eso agrégale su reten de corredera más fiable que las armas actuales.

I see a bit of German Luger in the looks and In some of the design.

Would it be considered an antique to the feds?
