The movie Crotalus asked about is one of the Band of Brothers movies. A GI shoots a German that is riding by on a horse with his rifle, then scoops up the Luger that later shoots a GI in the leg that was in a foxhole as I remember it. He dies soon after with his femoral artery punched through by the bullet. The episode was called "The Breaking Point" Imd offers this synopsi for Season 1, Episode #7
"In the first scene, Corporal Hoobler sights a German officer on horseback and shoots him dead. He finds that the officer had a Luger, a highly prized pistol among American GIs. After boasting of his marksmenship, the Luger inexplicably fires and cuts the femoral artery in Hoob's right leg. He bleeds to death as his comrades try to treat him. His death deepens the low morale of the company and Lt. Buck Compton lectures the rest of the men, telling them not to do anything stupid. "
