The Reichsrevolver or M1879 Reichsrevolver (M79) was a rather belated response
of the German army to the unification of the arsenal .
While all other armies of that time had unified arsenals of personal weapons ,
Germany only introduced identical revolvers for the needs of different parts of the
armed forces in 1879.
The result was a Model 79 revolver , very simple in design and with a simple
mechanism. In addition, this revolver lacked the ability to eject bullet casings through
a built-in system, which was already common in other models at that time.
This revolver remained in the German army until 1908, when it was replaced by the
Luger P08 semi-automatic pistol..

No PAL is required for this unit..
