@Rheinmetall20mm Lots of Lüger pistol get wrecked because french shooter used military ammo designed for the MAT-49 machine-gun. The toggle action is not designed for bullet speed in excess of 1050 to 1100 fps. This is how the ammo was designed by Georg Lüger: a 124 grain truncated cone FMJ bullet with a MV of 1050 fps.
Very nice pistol, I'm a french shooter and I'm owning one from 1917, made from DWM. What kind of ammo are you shooting in this pistol? I think today ammos are to hot stuff and I'm handloading ammo (Speer 124 grains TMJ bullet, over 4.2 Vectan A1 powder for 1 010 Fps) for this WWI survivor. :-)
Sweet, will have one, on day. Mothers boyfriend has one made in 28? I think. prob rate it at 87%. Really fits your hand like a glove, only pistol I have shot that seems to have a natural poa. So smooth shooting, shooting as you have just shown.
to my knolege the drum mags wernt for combat.. they were for killing large quanties of people. i could be wrong tho.
thats a great piece of history you have on your hands there. my friend thats a gunsmith showed me one the other day that had been shot during the war. and the guy that owned it took it to him to get it fixed. to be honest i would have left it how it was. those are really neat pistols.
They were for combat alright, you can be sure of that. The drum mag model was made exclusively during and around WW1 for German stormtroopers clearing out enemy trenches.
did anyone see that ghost lookin thing goin in the direction of the shot at 1:11
