Michael. What was he fireing? The new Krieghoff?

I have ripped off three 32 round drums as fast as they would fire in my 1917 parts Artillery with no problems whatsoever....

I am curious what type of Luger this fellow had...a 1918 by the way.

"Autopistol fans will immediately note a resemblance to the old reliable Ruger .22 pistol. The similarity in names has caused some to suspect "Luger" is actually a play on the name of famous designer Bill Ruger. However I'm assured that Georg Luger is in fact a real person."

If the above is an example of this boneheads knowledge of the history of the first succesful military autoloading pistol and it's designer Herr Luger I am blown away! But wait..there's more!

"It's almost as though the designer had never handled a tuned 1911 to feel what a good single action autopistol trigger should be."

Is this guy for real? What Planet did he come from? I guess the younger generation couldn't care less about weapons history...Sad really.
