Semi-automatic pistol design that was exclusively for German military service. The locking system, which included a screw mounted breechblock separate from the slide, had shortcomings in actual usage. Wear and tear often resulted in the retaining yoke and screw jumping free, allowing the breechblock to blow straight back into the shooter's face.
