One thing few people comment on, was WDM Bell carried a M96 s/a handgun with him into Karamoko territory. I have not refound the reference in his books to it though.

Old post but yes Bell did speak about his broomhandle Mauser pistol somewhere in "Bell of Africa". It was called 'bom, bom' by the natives and he mentions pulling it out and firing off a magazine clip into the dust in a village where he was resting to intimidate some of the natives who were getting a bit threatening.
