WWII Movie with Luger, P.38 and a PPK

As to Alvin's comment on the lack of Lugers in movie's. I'm willing to bet that you never will see a luger fired more than once continually, unless they cut to a Luger firing real ammo. Luger's are near impossible to make work with blanks, while P38s are easy. Most Lugers seen on film are for show, not actual firing. So if Yugoslav movies call for much firing, Lugers are out.

Hi Alan, There are at least two movies I can think of where a Luger fires a complete magazine. They are "The Producers" and "The Blues Brothers". Regards, Norm
