Food for thought: is the luger really a "weak" design?

Be fair!
George Luger and DWM made fine products that was designed for each other.

The 9mm is 34kpsi (SAAMI) and 47kpsi (NATO) that is an 34% increase in chamber pressure.

Take a 1903 rifle in 30-06 (60kpsi SAAMI) and feed it solely on ammo running 80kpsi and see how long that will last.

The problem is'nt the neat old guns and from what they were made the ammo was designed to suit it and not break it.

Now along comes some numbnut and fires hundreds of NATO cartridges he got from a friend in the army, and all of a sudden the old firebelcher curl up it's mortal coil.
Stupidity killed that gun and they're out there multiplying rapidly.
Artificial intelligense is no match for natural stupidity.
And as Ron White said: You cant fix stupid!
