Everyone embellishes their stories. No one is going to say they caught a Feldwebel taking a dump and smacked him over the head with an E-tool, Then had to separate the Luger from the resulting mess. Much more satisfying to say it was surrendered by the enemy in combat.

You want Luger fantasy, go over to PIA and read their descriptions of rare desirable Lugers.

I've paraphrased this statement slightly. It most closely captures my philosophy on anything.
