So why a longer barrel on an "artillery" model? Was this a firearm for self defence if the arty battery was over run? And a more effective longer barrel was desired but still a handgun so it could be carried while operating artillery?

that was the idea before the great war, to give artilleryman a gun he could allways carry and if in need assemble in a moment and fight off an cavalry charge because the carbines were not allways on hand but laying on the limber
