It is a gun.
It is designed to be shot. Yes..Last summer I took out my Imperial Navy stocked 6 inch Luger and in the first magazine I blew out the back of the bolt with Winchester white box. I had been shooting this pistol for years. Not that much. It's more of an exhibition shooter. Just took out a divot but it let loose the firing pin and stopped the pistol in it's tracks. Killed the bolt. Probably the 5th or 6th Luger I have seen fail during my shooting due to broken parts. My Navy is a shooter so I just replaced the bolt and went back to the range. But Luger's are NOT infallible. They can and DO break. Just so you know.
