commercial or military

There are lots of factors in differences between the two.

I'll list a couple, then let others do the same.

1. Commercial (comm) numbering is more "hidden", than military numbering.

2. comm numbering is consecutive, it is on-going. Weapon 23567, 13,000 more guns it is 36,567, while military goes up to 10,000 then the next is 1a, up to 9999a, then 10,000a and then b, etc.

3. Military versions were made for a specific country, lets say Germany, while comm are for sale to whomever. (There are also contract Lugers).

thatÃ¢??s a start...
