Mars Automatic

Right at the end of the 19th Century, English Inventor Hugh Gabbet-Fairfax decided to design the most powerful semi-automatic pistol in the world (For it's time anyway) and as a result in 1897,The Mars Automatic was created in collaboration with British Revolver manufacturing company, Webley and Scott. When Fairfax Patented the weapon in 1900, he decided to split with Webley who wanted to alter the pistol to make it more appealing for the commercial market, which would have meant sacrificing some of the power and size to make it more comfortable to wield and cheaper to mass-produce. Fairfax wanted to keep his weapon exactly how it was however. This has been regarded as a poor decision as the Mars Automatic was huge and it's 11mm Variants had huge amounts of stopping power. However, during Military testing, it turned out that no one really liked firing one. The Weapon has enormous amounts of recoil and muzzle flash and shooting it was apparently a really unpleasant experience, Not only was the Mars too "hardcore" for effective use but it was also too mechanically complex to manufacture on a large scale which would have increased the cost to produce substantially. But Because Fairfax was too stubborn to listen to feedback and change the Mars design, the pistol was rejected by the British War Office and was never adopted by Military forces. Fairfax unfortunately became Bankrupt by 1903 and the patent was passed over to several of his investors. This group of investors attempted to recover the design and regain their lost investments. Unfortunately a few years later the group were also unsuccessful and also went bankrupt. By 1907, Any Hope of reviving the Mars Automatic Faded Away Completely as the Weapon was abandoned completely. In the end only about 80 pistols were made in total. The pistol may have had impressive amounts of power but it just wasn't practical enough to find it's way into a Military Arsenal.
