If I want a pistol, I want it to be a Luger; or at the very least, look/operate like one. So much cool looking than your typical glocks. But alas. 😔
Idk imo Mausers are cooler, but maybe im biased because it was used in star wars films.
I love guns manufactured and wielded by fascists since they are the cheapest to acquire. After all, for the cost of a single bullet you can acquire such a gun from a fascist.
Only hope you’re quicker than the fash though. Also that you don’t get hunted down by Gestapo.
Guns exist for 1 reason: to kill. I don’t think the creator makes it any better or worse.
If that’s the case, why did it’s creators started to distance themselves from the Luger due to it’s connections with the third reich?
Here’s a better gun (it totally isn’t a transforming robot)
Megatron lol.
Fun fact: In the IDW comics, Megatron was a miner who founded the decepticon cause and led a revolution against Cybertron’s corrupt leaders
Lmao, more fun that the ones i read.
They did the thing where Megatron was right about the Functionists and the Senate so in typical liberal fashion they ended up making him a bloodthirsty genocider who wants to rid the world of organic life. Then ended up doing a redemption arc for him. Very fun to read but also very wierd.
This is incorrect entirely. Megatron was a gladiator who wanted to take over Cybertron and turn it into a massive ship and go around conquering worlds. The deceptions are all a hyper militarized fascists type and are meant to be depicted as such. That’s why they all take the form of various military vehicles. The whole reason the war started was because of energy shortages and the most militarized forces began fighting amongst themselves until Megatron came in and formed the deceptions and hatched his plan to conquer Cybertron.
The Autobots that resisted the decepticon are workers. They have always been at a disadvantage because they, being a worker class, lacked the kind of weaponry that deceptions had. This is why they are almost always seen as working vehicles. Prime always pushed a narrative of seeing all life as equal and such. Even their history, Prime was the last descendant of the original “god” like entity that created the Autobots and he decided to be reborn as just a normal autobot and live as an equal with the rest of his people.
This all being said l, neither side can really be seen as fascist or communist. However the narrative is the deceptions are the hyper militarized, warhawk factions and the Autobots are primarily made of the worker cast resisting them.
Fr, I like Walther P38, but thankfully it was used by DDR also. It also shouldn’t matter if the wielder is based, like Bata Živojinović with MP40 for example.
of course you would like the Walter P38 💀
Heisenberg didn’t make it as far as I know, but it’s cool looking and I remember using it much in COD WaW lmao
The Walther P38 looks like it’s been circumcised though 😔. Regular pistol stock and then BAM thin exposed barrel…
It was produced for 42 years starting 1900 though indeed was made famous by nazis. I held one in my hand few times and it is very comfortable.
Afaik it wasn’t very good pistol though, at least at first.
I bet it was! Ahh, to be able to hold it as well~
Then again, don’t prototypes/earlier versions of everything in existence suck at the beginning?
Granted it shouldn’t be the case for something as serious as a gun but still.Not really, they were of slightly below average reliability up until production ceased. In fact, they were so unreliable and unremarkable as handguns, that they were the driving reason behind the common idea at the time that semi automatics weren’t to be trusted, and revolvers were the better choice.
The ejection mechanism was over engineered and very prone to jamming because of it. In fact the gun has a much greater amount of small working parts compared to other handguns, meaning there’s more things to break and wear down. In addition, because of said folding ejection system, clearing the jam was very difficult.
Also prepare to have it jam, and jam, and jam, and jam, unless you sacrifice only the utmost perfect and exact ammo to it, since it is extremely finicky and won’t like ammo that isn’t a perfect match. This is probably because the gun was designed around the 30 luger, but was “re-engineered” to use 9mm so the Germans could standardize with the MP-18 and MP-40.
Eh, over all it’s a “decent” handgun. But nothing to right home about, and it’s easily outclassed.
If I had this gun, I would chill in an expensive hotel room in the dark smoking a cigarette until someone enters the door, then I turn on the lights, take a drag from my cigarette and say “I’ve been waiting for you. You’re not an easy man to find, Mr Bond but I’m not an easy man to hide from. gestures with Luger Please, sit, sit. We have much to discuss” then I get betrayed by my assistant who falls for the Anglo and my masterplan is ruined with only 00:7 seconds left on the comically large bomb that kills all of Earth so I would otherwise have been able to fuck space aliens in peace. The last words I hear are a shitty one-liner about how I’m “the bomb .com” before he tosses me in the bomb pit and shuts down my evil website.
