The darn thing is called "Schnellfeuer". It's the last variation of Mauser C96. Most were sold to China. But it's a gun produced in relatively high volume of near six digit, so they still show up on market from time to time today.

From some memoirs, it's selective firing, but it's still mainly used as a semi-auto. In emergency the operator could fire it in short-burst mode, it's superior and useful. For example, a running guy being chased by an enemy in close quarter at night, accurate aiming on the chaser was impossible, so he fired 3-4 rounds at the rough direction towards the chaser. In this scenario, it's much more effective than semi-auto.
