Some 15+ years ago I served for a period as the regimental armorer. Part of our stock were eight P-08 pistols that had been handed in from reserve officers reaching retirement. I sent my XO the 2nd lieutenant down to our range in the basement to function fire them all - after a while I hear an 8-round "BUUUURP" coming from downstairs. The third Luger had emptied the whole magazine, in the process puncturing a water-pipe in the ceiling. Needless to say, my XO never trusted any Luger after that incident.
Regards,
Balder
