Firing a muddy P.08

4 Scale · 05-09-2016, 10:30 PM

I found this video regarding the P.08 and mud entertaining, especially halfway through when the muddy pistol is fired in slow motion. I've actually wondered about this, glad this guy performed this "test" so I don't have to. I'm glad he wore safety glasses, although I nearly spilled my coffee when he fired it with a barrel obstruction.

Enjoy!

I've seen that one; it sure gives lie to the "sensitivity" of the luger to dirt!

I was accustomd to see these young folks doing experiments like that with their GLOCKs but I'd never seen anything similar done with a LUGER, it's absolutely something crazy to do with any pistol.

I am very find of my HK P30S. I was impressed watching a similar video of some guy that buries a P30 in sloppy mud, Diggs it back up, only removes even mud to identify the sillouette of a hand gun and proceeds to fire it. I was pleasantly stunned. But, place this in the category of what you kids should not do at home.
