Tales of the Gun. The Luger.

[Bluedragon]

Found this on youtube, and thought everyone might enjoy watching it.
It details the beginnings of semi automatic handguns and of course the history of the Parabellum pistol or more commonly and affectionately known as the Luger.

Enjoy....

It is a pretty good episode, watched it on history international last week. I've always been intrigued by these pistols. One day ill find one I can't turn down.

Good show and very interesting. I remember I had a toy Luger cap gun when I was a little kid and I remember how good it felt even being a toy, I always wanted one from that time on.

That was cool. But man, now I wish the episode about the 1911 (there *has* to be one) was on YouTube, too!

I had one of those too, maybe early 70's. It was metal, really heavy, I went somewhere with my mom, and she bought it for me. I remember my dad seeing me with it and saying how real it looked. I've wanted a real one ever since.

As the owner of two (I resently traded another) Lugers, I really enjoyed watching this.

Rep to you for putting it on!
