Hi all,

Just wonder, I heard that with a standard WWI luger you can't shoot modern ammo, otherwise the gun will be damaged rapidly.

I also heard of a german firm who sell stronger recoil springs in order to shoot modern loads.

Now, my question, I believe that the LP08 has a stronger spring than the normal 08. Does this mean that you can shoot modern ammo in an LP?

Or should you also replace the spring by a stronger one? The firm that sells the normal springs has none for the LP. Are these not needed?

Cheers
