Mauser C96

The Mauser C96 is the starting pistol in the Origins zombies map included with the Apocalypse downloadable content for Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

The Mauser C96 performs nearly identically to the M1911. It has very weak damage, taking multiple bullets to kill a single zombie even on the first rounds, medium firecap, a magazine of eight rounds and slight recoil.

When Pack-a-Punched via the Pack-a-Punch Machine, it becomes the Boomhilda. It fires laser bolts with extremely high damage, and it gains an increased magazine, an ACOG Scope and a Suppressor. The Boomhilda is an extremely powerful weapon with a 50 round magazine. Despite its power and the magazine capacity, however, ammunition concerns do arise, as the player only has two extra magazines, making the total starting ammunition a measly 150 bullets. The Boomhilda is a strong weapon in its own right, but is often overlooked compared to weapons such as the staffs and other weapons on the map, such as the KSG, the M1927, and the MG08/15, because the player can only receive the Mauser through digging, keeping it when starting the game, or respawning after death.
