Nambu Typ 14, range report

Bumped out of position....

Interarms Luger could have this issue during fast firing. What bumped was not safety, it's the takedown latch. After fast firing 5 rounds out, I noticed the takedown latch turned about 30 or 40 degrees. I always remember to push it back, but what if operator did not notice this, .... could the gun self-disassemble during firing??!!! I don't know. This problem never shows up in slow firing though.

There is something wrong with that Luger. Even if the takedown latch is not fully engaged in the locked position the spring tension should force it to the fully engaged position under fire. at least that's what happens with my Lugers.
