Steinar · 08-19-2008, 08:38 AM

In 'The Armourer Militaria Magazine' #88, there is an article of a Luger beeing shot out of a hand (the Luger has a bullet hole in front of the trigger bar)
Has anyone read this article?

Tac,
If you are like me, I rejoice every time I find out something new...it shows that I'm not too old to learn! The down side is that some of the new stuff I am learning is stuff I had already forgotten.

Steinar · 08-19-2008, 01:22 PM

Tac, I beleve it's from the UK.. only trawling the top shelf eh?

To be honest, I never heard of it eighter

He won't be picking his nose for a very long time....

Magazine button seems to show that there were still a couple of rounds in the magazine.

Had to take out fingers to elbow at a minimum.
Unit marks on front of grip.

Interesting. I've never been in a gunfight (thank God!), but have read that one tends to focus on the gun pointed at you. It seems that may have been what happened here, hence the bullet placement?

sej-gun · 08-21-2008, 02:15 PM

I had read the article.
It is a fantastic story from the last days of WW2 in Denmark.
The author, Anders Thygesen, has done a great job!
I will ask him if he want to share the story whit us on this forum.
But I think there is a blocking period going on yet.

"The Armourer" is one of two Militaria mags that I am aware of published in the UK, the other being "Classic Arms & Militaria"

http://www.newsstand.co.uk/157-Milit...MILITARIA.aspx

Both have been around for a while, and are quite good in content and quality, but tending more toward the 18th & 19th century periods.

regards,

Vince

"Had to take out fingers to elbow at a minimum."

You never know, I'd think it was deflected some.

I had a watch shot off in RVN-parted the expansion band and never left a scratch on me.

It was a Zodiac Seawolf.

ROFL,

Ron, that's exactly what happens to me. Frustrating, ain't it!
BTW, how's that gun show you guys are about to have over there in a week or so. Is it worth the trip from Alpine to attend?

Don't forget your offer to put me and all my relatives up for a week or two. <big grin>

Rod WMG · 11-10-2008, 08:35 PM

Wow! I'm sure glad to read the rest of the story! Thanks very much.

Ron Wood · 11-10-2008, 10:46 PM

David,
The show is this weekend. Like a lot of places, El Paso shows ain't what they used to be. But they do have their moments...you never know what will show up and at least there isn't a lot of flea market stuff that you see at some shows.
If you do decide to make the trek from Alpine, I don't know how many of your relatives you can stack up on a queen-size bed, but we do have the spare bedroom that is available...and you can look over my junk if that has any appeal to you. Send me a PM with your email address so I can give you directions to the house and a phone number to coordinate logistics.
Ron
