Thanks everyone.
I was aware that the top bit 'detached' could fire a chambered round on it's own, been doing a bit of looking at youtube etc, found the vids from this forum.
The book is 95% written, just some rewriting that has required a bit of tinkering.
The loose end is:
The luger has been fired twice, therefore it is in a state of having one in the breech and 5 in the magazine.
A child, totally unfamiliar with guns tries to make it safe, removes the magazine but totally overlooks the one still in the breech. The gun remains for 40+ years in this state.
So the 'double action' still allows the gun to be fired.
I'm only aware of the way the Luger loads and reloads because I built a 1:1 plastic model of one as a teenager, the average British person will know almost nothing of how an automatic pistol works. The Luger will be even less familiar.
Am I on the right track here?
cheers
