Luger's Unsafe to Shoot?

4 Scale · 06-23-2017, 11:50 AM

Per p. 198 in my copy of "Band of Brothers":

"Hoobler was in a state of exhilaration after shooting a man on horseback. He moved from one position to another, hands in his pockets, batting the breeze with anyone who would talk. In his right-hand pocket he had a Luger he had picked up on the battlefield. A shot rang out. He had accidentally fired the Luger".

That's what Ambrose said but if there is different or better information on the incident that would be interesting to know.
