Fully Auto LP 08

In my volume of Luger Variations at page 27, Jones notes:

"Since the Luger was not desiged as a machine pistol (where a rapid rate of fire is the primary concern), it is felt that the toggle action was designed to operate sluggishly in order that the full benefit of the locked breach principle might be realized."

At page 140 a photo of a 4 in. experimental machine pistol is shown with the selector switch on the side plate and using an extended sear bar. No mention was made of any barrel length longer than 4 in. David.
