Hand gun - full auto
 

There has been talk about a full auto Luger, well this is not a Luger but.....

I was messing around with my 1936 S/42 shooter a couple years back trying to improve the the trigger, and took too much metal off the sear bar and it went full auto.....it was insanely fast. I'm pretty experienced with automatic fireams and it ripped off a mag much faster than a MAC 11 .380....I'd say it was running at about 2000 rpm. I can see why there was never a successful P08 conversion fielded by the military. I'm guessing the rate is because of the low mass and short travel of the breechblock.

In case the NSA is listening, I threw the sear bar away :evilgrin:

Thanks Hugh, that thing empties a mag about as fast as anything I have ever seen. :eek:

One of the early luger books discusses a more controllable full auto PO8 designed my two brother in Mexico. I'll see if I can find that info again. TH

That is a factory Glock18 that has been modified by skeletonizing the slide, (giving it an even higher ROF), making an already pointless pistol that much less practical.

My Dad told me that something broke in his Erma .22 Luger look-a-like pistol he once owned. It went on full auto on him all of the sudden. A few years later, someone broke into our house and stole it along with numerous other guns my Dad owned. The Erma was never fixed so no telling what ever happened to it.
