Alvin,
I got the meaning of your post. I was referring to Postino's answer above (when he said: "a Chinese copy of a Spanish copy of a C96 Mauser is pretty amusing in and of itself..."). I know if there is someone here that won't get confused among Broohandles version it'll be you.
Concerning the final part of your message above, a better translation would be "executed" instead of "suppressed", knowing what Mao's soldiers would do in such case.
All the best,
Douglas
