parabellum means "for war", but it's part of a proverb - si vis pacem, para bellum - which literally means "if you want peace, prepare for war"

I use to own one. It's like the Rolls-Royce of firearms. It's not the most popular but it's instantly recognizable and a classy piece of history. Crazy to think the US was considering adopting a .45 ACP version of the Luger before the war broke out.

Nice handgun, but my 1911 serves just fine...

Magazine feeding is nice, but the Mauser C96 is that much more aesthetic
@mr.samurai9017 ай бұрын
The Borchardt is even more aesthetic

I have one, they are gorgeous, they are classic, and they are not reliable for combat of any level.

Theodore Roosevelt himself owned one as part of his private collection.

Indeed ,a star.Othewise the mechanic needs powerful spring hence powerful amunition in order to accomplish the fire's cycle. Borchardt refused to improve his gun,he said " it is just perfect,you are too stupid to admit that.Over"

I clicked on the video for two good reasons 1. I don't know anything about the luger 2. I want to know more about the luger

they are not all that great. if it misfires, there is no way to re cock, without ejecting the round. I had one. it looks cool, but that is where it ends for me.
@maxlutz36748 ай бұрын
They are iconic and they are craftsman´s pieces. One thing that may be worse than the need to eject the round after a misfire is that it´s really picky with the ammo. I would not call the Lugers genious either. I´d rather award that to the Colt 1911. It´s from the same era and still going strong.

In the event of a misfire, simply pull the toggle slightly for a quarter of an inch to recock.
@F4Insight-uq6nt8 ай бұрын
It's a pointless and expensive to produce weapon. Regular Slide action semi autos had already been invented a decade prior. The toggle system only existed to avoid copyright on the slide action. Which of course became the standard for all semi auto pistols, Case Rested.

14:40 "Detachable shoulder stock holster" It's not a holster, its a stock and shoulder is redundant flash-wording. It's simply called a detachable stock, or a pistol brace. If you're gonna throw gun terminology around you may want to do enough research in the basic glossary that you use terms properly.
