The Bergmann 1896 was a 19th-century semi-automatic pistol developed by German designer Louis Schmeisser and sold by Theodor Bergmann’s company. A contemporary of the Mauser C96 and Borchardt C-93 pistols the Bergmann failed to achieve the same widespread success although Bergmann himself later went on to design one of the earliest practical and successful sub-machine guns the MP-18.The first cartridges in Bergmann pistols were grooveless with the bullets having a sharp nose to avoid jams.
