Creating a new weapon was carried out without the participation of PP Mauser, who passed away in May 1914-th. After the appearance of the army order, the project was once again changed, resulting in the appearance of another modification. Later it was modernized during the 10-13 project. Back in 1910, the M1906 product was created as part of the M1910 rifle upgrade. Shortly thereafter, the design team of the company Mauser proposed one of the existing projects that met the requirements of the customer. The order to develop a self-loading rifle appeared in 1915 year. General view of the rifle Mauser Selbstlader. The consequence of this was the appearance of an order for the development of new rifles, having the ability to recharge independently. In addition, the prospects for self-loading weapons for infantry became clear. During the battles, the high potential of machine guns of various classes was confirmed. The command changed its mind only after the start of the First World War. Over the next few years, German gunsmiths continued to develop self-loading systems, but until a certain time their inventions did not interest the potential customer in the person of the army. Moreover, in the middle of the twentieth years of the 20th century, the German military, having familiarized themselves with the slight progress in the field of self-loading weapons, were completely disillusioned with such systems. According to the results of inspections, the army decided not to accept the new development of P.P. This weapon during the tests confirmed the performance of the proposed automation, however, did not differ in high reliability. 1906, had automatic on the basis of a semi-free shutter with braking using a pair of swing arms. The M1915 / 16 self-loading carbine was able to pass all the tests and find limited use in the army. The next version of the Mauser self-loading rifle appeared only in the middle of the next decade. A new type of rifle was offered to the German army, but it refused such weapons, citing insufficient design perfection. Subsequently, the M1906 rifle was upgraded, resulting in the appearance of the 06-08 product. it weapon based on automation with a semi-free shutter and used a rather powerful rifle cartridge. In 1906, the German gunsmith designer Peter Paul Mauser introduced another version of a self-developed rifle of his own design.
