Is this possible?

Hi, Welcome to the forum. I'm trying to figure out what the rude word could be, but none of the ones I know fit. Must be my sheltered upbringing. The answers to your questions are yes, yes, and yes. Regards, Norm

how to "Rooster" the gun.

If you want to do a mystery type accidental shooting you should know that the gun can be fired with the top have only.

Thanks everyone.

I was aware that the top bit 'detached' could fire a chambered round on it's own, been doing a bit of looking at youtube etc, found the vids from this forum.

The book is 95% written, just some rewriting that has required a bit of tinkering.

The loose end is:

The luger has been fired twice, therefore it is in a state of having one in the breech and 5 in the magazine.
A child, totally unfamiliar with guns tries to make it safe, removes the magazine but totally overlooks the one still in the breech. The gun remains for 40+ years in this state.

So the 'double action' still allows the gun to be fired.

I'm only aware of the way the Luger loads and reloads because I built a 1:1 plastic model of one as a teenager, the average British person will know almost nothing of how an automatic pistol works. The Luger will be even less familiar.

Am I on the right track here?

cheers

Hi, The Luger is not a "double action", but the act of chambering a round does **** the firing pin. A Luger with a chambered round will fire if the safety is off and the trigger is pulled. Regards, Norm
P.S. I hope that you will acknowledge the "invaluable technical assistance provided by members of The Luger Forum, without whose help this book would not have been possible".
