The last sentence of this article is ambiguous and potentially misleading. Is the intention to describe the primary use of the cartridge, or use of the cartridge during the second world war? Other references suggest the cartridge and pistol were adopted by Austria-Hungary, and saw primary use during World War I. Production of the pistol reportedly ended in 1914, but surviving military hardware was available to successor states following division of Austria-Hungary after World War I; and Italy received some as war reparations. The pistol reportedly saw postwar use in Yugoslavia, Austria, Hungary and Italy. Although some of these pistols may have been used by forces allied with Germany during the second world war, a reference citation is requested to support the assertion of primary use.Thewellman (talk) 16:03, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

details hard to find

[edit]

Info about this cartridge is pretty scarce. I am still looking but haven't found much. I will add what I can as I find info. Cycletourist (talk) 19:43, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
