3D Animation: How a Luger P08 Parabellum Pistol works

The Luger Parabellum Pistol, commonly known as Luger P08 Parabellum, is a toggle-locked recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol that was produced in several models and by several nations from 1898 to 1948. The design was first patented by Georg Luger as an improvement upon the Borchardt Automatic Pistol and was produced as the Parabellum Automatic Pistol, Borchardt-Luger System by the German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM). The first production model was known as the Modell 1900 Parabellum, followed by the “Marinepistole 1904“ for the Imperial German Navy. The later versions included the popular “Parabellum Pistol Model 1908“ or simply “P08“ (Pistol 1908), which was produced by DWM and other manufacturers such as W F Bern, Krieghoff, Simson, Mauser, and Vickers. The first Parabellum pistol was adopted by the Swiss army in May 1900. 1904 they were adopted by the German Navy. In German Army service, it was adopted in slightly modified form as the Pistole Modell 1908 (Pistol 08) in caliber 9×19mm Parabellum. The Model 08 was eventually succeeded by the Walther P38. The Luger is well known from its use by Germans during World War I and World War II, along with the interwar Weimar Republic and the postwar East German Volkspolizei. The P08 was first introduced in Parabellum, though it is notable for being the pistol for which the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge was developed, also known as the 9mm Luger. 9x19. 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Para, 9mm NATO or just 9mm.
