Pistole Parabellum 1908 or Parabellum - Pistole ( Pistol Parabellum ) , popularly known as the Luger , is a semi- automatic pistol that has the ability to beat strong and can be locked , which became one of the icons of modern pistols . The design was patented by Georg J. Luger in 1898 and produced by German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken ( DWM ) from since 1900 . Kind itself an evolution of the C - 93 pistol made in 1893 Hugo Borchardt .
Luger became popular after being used by the Germans in World War I and World War II . Although first introduced by Parabellum 7.65 x22mm , but the development version of the better known kartridgenyalah , 9x19mm Parabellum ( or Luger 9mm ) .
Luger uses jointed crank system to lock , which is different from the other semi-automatic pistol that prefer the sliding system . After a barrage fired , the barrel and lever components (both locked at this stage ) flips backward as a jolt . After shifting one half inch ( 13mm ) to the back , hit the lever sort of ridge that made into the frame , causing the hang hinge plate , barrel release lever of the key . In this phase of the barrel stopped turning ( emphasis on the frame ) , but the components of the hinge to keep moving ( bending the joint coupling ) , pull out the contents of the box are mounted on a pistol bullet . Instantly locks and moving the lever forwards (using power per ) , which suppress the contents of the magazine and put a bullet in her cubicle . A series of these processes occur in a matter of seconds !
The mechanism works best when using a high pressure cartridge , while the low pressure can actually make the gun not work because it did not bring a jolt strong enough to make the action of the installation went smoothly . The result usually is a breakdown of the gun is not working properly .
In the First World War , when it feels right that a machine gun is very useful in the battle trenches , the experiments performed to change some type of machine gun into a pistol ( Reihenfeuerspistolen , or a gun that shoots a sustainable manner , row - fire pistols ) . One of these is yes Luger pistol (also known officially by the German Army as Pistole 08 ) . But unlike the Mauser C96 types participating in mass quantities converted into Reihenfeuerspistolen , then this Luger has a high rate of fire with full - automatic type it .
Luger pistol known for very high quality , so as to have a long tenure . William " Bill " Ruger admire the hand grip 55 degree angle , and trace them for 22 LR pistol made.
P.08 an additional weapon that we usually see attached to the sheath that was on the side of the German officer . Although used in the two World Wars , but its use gradually being replaced by the Walther P38 , starting from 1938 . Himself in 1930 P.08 Mauser took over manufacture , until 1943 .
Surprisingly , the German Army was not the first to use the German pistol extraordinary , but his compatriot in the sea , Reichsmarine , who began to use the services of Luger 1904 ( while four years later ) . 9x19mm Parabellum pistol of this type replaces the previously used Reichsrevolver . Lange Pistole 08 or Artillery Luger has a longer barrel , and sometimes equipped with a magazine containing 32 bullets ( Trommelmagazin 08 ) .
Chaotic again , even the German Navy was not the first in the world to use this gun in bulk , but the Swiss Army ! They have evaluated the usefulness of the Luger pistol 7.65mm ( .30 Luger in North America ) this long ago , and began using it in 1900, under the name Ordonnanzpistole 00 or OP00 .
United States became one of the country would also be interested in this revolutionary new pistol . Previously , from the late 1800's they have been studied intensively Colt M1900 , Steyr Mannlicher M1894 and some kind of Mauser pistol . 1900 Americans bought 1000 pieces 7.65mm Luger pistol for training purposes in the field . Later, these pistols became an example for a new type of more powerful 9mm . Field experience with .38 in the Philippines and also a series of ballistic tests proved that even needed a larger size again .
In 1906 and 1907 , the U.S. Army held trials for the type of large-caliber semi - automatic . DWM provides two examples 45 ACP as an ingredient . After initial tests , DWM , Savage , and Colt were asked to provide a sample more evaluation material . No warning , then DWM withdrew for reasons that are still a matter of debate , although the U.S. Army remains unaffected and an order of 200 pieces of additional pistols as experiment materials .
Currently , though said to be " antiques " and outdated , the Luger remained hounded by collectors for the reason that distinctive design , accuracy , and historic relationship with the Nazis and the German Empire . Limited production of P.08 restarted by Mauser in 1999 as a celebration of the anniversary of the pistol . More recently , Krieghoff announced the continuation of the modeling Parabellum 08 with initial production of 200 pieces and is priced at 15,950 dollars .
Naturally, the price can be as big as it is , because in times of war is not only the Germans who appreciate this pistol is so high , even the Allies was that in fact the opponents they are both so loyal fans . It is no secret that thousands of Allied soldiers returning home from World War two with Luger to be one of their default . Today too , transactions involving Luger happen every day , and we can easily monitor on auction sites such as Ebay and Epier .
