If you received the Luger as described, then the seller has sold you a tall tale as well as a gun. There is no way WWB ammo would cause that much damage, it is not loaded hot. A fluted firing pin would not have made any difference. Sounds like the gun was blown up with an incorrect hand load and/or was damaged in some other way and the seller's story put the blame on WWB ammo.
