Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Better known as the Luger, and used by the Germans in both World Wars, this 7.65mm or 9mm (both originally designed for the Luger; 9mm Parabellum is essentially a 7.65mm cartridge with the bottleneck removed and a larger bullet seated) pistol has a distinctive grip and just looks evil. If Those Wacky Nazis appear, they're probably carrying this. A large number were collected by Allied soldiers as trophies in the Second World War with a decent number even assembled after the war for sale as souvenirs to occupying troops (these post-war productions are generally of low quality), and this means they are still common today. May or may not be particularly unreliable; American ammunition companies after the war downloaded 9mm ammo to keep GI's from blowing up their war trophies; this prevented the Luger's toggle-lock mechanism from cycling correctly. The most distinctive variants are the "Navy" model with a six-inch barrel and two-position rear sight, and the "Artillery" model, with an 8-inch barrel, 8-position rear sight, and optional stock and 32-round "Snail drum" magazine (which proved far more prone to jamming than standard magazines). A .45 ACP version (designed for the U.S. Army pistol tests that eventually led to the M1911) is among the rarest of Rare Guns; only two were created, with one being destroyed during the test - and the second one was sold to an anonymous collector in 2010 for $494,000.[1] |
