Ã¢??Il Capo dei CapiÃ¢?Â (Boss of All Bosses) is an Italian TV miniseries biopic about Toto Riina, the uberCapo of the Sicilian Mafia (currently living and serving out a prison sentence).

There is considerable Luger presence in the movie, at least as seen in the clips available on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...&search=Search. As presented, the young Riina receives a long-barrel Luger, which he apparently uses for a considerable part of his criminal career.

There is considerable violence in this movie, as Riina was a very violent guy. There are a lot of other guns to be seen; in the clip most of these examples are from the action also includes a P-38 and a war-era Beretta.

The Luger in the movie is long-barreled, but not a Navy. It is a functioning prop. There are two cuts in which the action clearly operates, but it is impossible to isolate the actual frames from the Youtube videos. It is possible, in the frame below, to see the ejected shell casing. It does appear from this frame and the two insets that the toggle does not return to battery after being fired.
