Here are some photos from the book German Automatic Weapons of World War II for the R713 Schnellfeuer-Pistole. One thing I have always found very interesting is that the rear sight for this pistol goes out to an absurd 1,000 meters. First of all, who would be using this weapon instead of a rifle at that range? And even if you were say shooting at a trench line to “keep their heads down” with a R713, you’d never come close to anything at that range. Heck, the sight on my G33/40 carbine only goes out to 600 meters. There must have been a salesman involved with the design of the R713 the way I look at it.
