How a Steyr M1912 works

[@randyrick8019]

Thanks for this video. Actually the Austrian Army only adopted the M1912 after the outbreak of WW1 in 1914. The Romanians adopted the M1912 in 1912. The M1911 Steyr-Hahn was adopted by the Chilean army also in 1912, but with a fixed front sight blade as the only mechanical difference.

It's crazy how simple guns actually are.

Not all guns

Believe me you try to make most designs would be impossible

[@misby1738]

So simple you can't make one.

It's a pretty solid gun. Honestly if it took detachable magazines, it might achieve 1911 status and still be used. Side note, I still don't understand the safety. I might have missed it, but it seems like the safety just blocks the hammer, thus preventing accidental firing from that but not, say, a drop with enough force to engage the firing pin. Am I misunderstanding or missing something?

is there any particular reason nobody ever thought to make a detatchable magazine conversion for this? it doesn't look like that would be terribly hard to do..? at least compared to other strange conversions i've seen for weapons

[@kingofhearts3185]

There was the frommer stop in 1912 and 1911 with all of its variations, so it's not that it can't be done but that there's so little reason to

@@cannonfodder8907 Americans would just have a 1911. I don't mean that in a rude or dismissive way, but with exports and parts it's no contest.

What a stupid way to reload. 😂

Magazines were fairly expensive components back in the early 20th Century, the ability to use inexpensive stripper clips instead was desirable for some. Personally I find clip fed pistols interesting, be they stripper clips or en bloc like the early Bergmanns.
