The Mauser C96 (Construktion 96)^[6] is a semi-automatic pistol that was originally produced by German arms manufacturer Mauser from 1896 to 1937.^[7] Unlicensed copies of the gun were also manufactured in Spain and China in the first half of the 20th century.^[7][8]

The distinctive characteristics of the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which gives it the stability of a short-barreled rifle and doubles as a holster or carrying case, and an iconic grip shaped like the handle of a broom. The grip earned the gun the nickname "broomhandle" in the English-speaking world, because of its round wooden handle, and in China the C96 was nicknamed the "box cannon" (Chinese: 盒子炮; pinyin: hézipào) because of its rectangular internal magazine and the fact that it could be holstered in its wooden box-like detachable stock.^[9]
