***Everyone knows you can’t get two magazines through one of these without it jamming.****

If I remember my history correctly, the Luger was originaly made in 30 cal Luger and it worked fine. Then the Germans wanted it in 9mm and the problems began.

Also, the original Luger would not work with soft nose ammo so the German government began to call for a change to the rules of war. They wanted all soft nosed ammo banned. They were successful and that is why soft nose ammo for military use is a violation of Hague convention rules of war.

You can blow them to pieces!
Burn them with napalm and phosphorus!
Run over them with tanks!

But you CAN’T kill them with soft nosed ammo! It is not humane.

The Luger company competed with the American pistol manufacturers when the US Army asked for prototypes to be tested, and the winner to become the new US sidearm. Perhaps this is why the .45 cal Lugers lost the shootout to the M1911.
