On the subject of the Mauser C/96.......

Would this set up have been much use against attacking enemy Aircraft In WW-1?

The earliest aerial engagements were pilots blatting rounds at each other with pistols so that looks like a step up. Must have been fun to reload.

The Italians had the Villar-Perosa set up which was basically 2 SMGs. Used by Sean Connery in one of the Indian Jones films.

Steyr ACR had a rifled barrel 1:85 according to Ian MCullom at 7.44 in the video above. Even if it had a smooth bore barrel, it’d still be Section 5 as it has burst fire capability ie
‘any firearm which is so designed or adapted that two or more missiles can be successively discharged without repeated pressure on the trigger;’

... and the ammunition would be at least Section 1!

I don't have the address to hand, but there is a dealer over here who sell's surplus flechettes by the pound/lb. Allegedly it is old Vietnam era surplus stock.

IIRC the Mauser round was pretty hot at about 1200 fps and would definitely penetrate your lush pink body and copious amounts of your precious bodily fluids would leak out....

Don't go there: if you've any sense at all.

And therein lies the problem.
