'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''You Are Empty'':'''
 
'''''You Are Empty''''' is a 2006 Ukrainian first-person shooter, with an English version released by Atari in 2007. The game is set in an alternate 1955, where Soviet scientists build a psychic beacon to broadcast a powerful signal that should improve all aspects of life.

== Mauser C96 Hybrid ==
The hybrid of original [[Mauser C96]] and the [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] is available in the game, referred to simply as "Mauser". The weapon lacks the M712's fire selector and fires in semi-automatic, meaning that it is essentially a C96 with the M712's detachable magazines. It is modelled with 10 rounds magazine, but holds only 9 rounds. Ammunition pick-ups take the form of spare magazines. The C96 is also used by government agents, who attack both monsters and the player.


== Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer ==
It is worth noting that at the time of the events of the game, the C96 was considered an outdated weapon, so its widespread use is unrealistic, especially compared to the massive amounts of [[TT-33]] and [[Makarov PM]] pistols that would have been available in 1955. It was never an officially issued sidearm of the Soviet Union either.

You Are Empty is a 2006 Ukrainian first-person shooter, with an English version released by Atari in 2007. The game is set in an alternate 1955, where Soviet scientists build a psychic beacon to broadcast a powerful signal that should improve all aspects of life. As always, everything goes terribly wrong, and almost everyone mutates into incredible monsters. The unnamed main character, who was supposed to attend a decisive meeting as a security guard, but did not get there due to a car accident and ended up in the hospital, comes to his senses after what happened, and now he must figure out a way to stop the madness.

While an interesting concept at first glance, You Are Empty was eventually released with only about half of the original intentions. In the end, the game suffered severely from criticism, with a muddled plot (the development of which was also originally conceived, but remained one of the unrealized aspects), technical issues, and banal gameplay.


The following weapons appear in the video game You Are Empty:
