Parabellum P08

The Parabellum-Pistole P08, incorrectly also known as the Luger, is a toggle locked, recoil operated, semi-automatic pistol.
The design was patented by Georg J. Luger in 1898 and produced by Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) starting in 1900.

The P08 was made popular by its use by Germany during World War I and World War II. Though the P08 was first introduced in 7.65x22mm Parabellum,
it is notable for being the pistol for which the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge was developed.

The P08 was the usual sidearm for German Army personnel in both world wars, though it was being replaced by the Walther P38 starting in 1938.

In Michael Gaißmair pistols are allowed for all officers, NCO's and enlisted men who would be using pistol, such as MG gunners.
