The first version of the semi-automatic weapon from PP Mauser was based on automation with recoil of the trunk during its short course. Nevertheless, the work was continued, and later led to the emergence of several new rifles with self-recharging systems. Due to the lack of experience in creating such systems, the designer could not offer a workable design. The first project of a self-loading rifle by Peter Paul Mauser was unsuccessful.
