In-Game Text[]
Adopted in 1908, the P08 was accurate and durable and the most widespread German sidearm during the Great War.
History[]
An elegant weapon for an uncivilized age, the Pistole Parabellum 1908 was designed by Georg Luger in 1898 and produced by the Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken from 1900 onwards. The younger sibling of the C93 designed by Hugo Borchardt, the Luger P08 was one of the first semi-automatic pistols. Using a toggle-locked action with a jointed arm instead of the usual recoil-operated slide, it was as unique as it was excellent in the field. Accurate and elegant, Lugers enjoyed a lasting popularity well beyond the death of the German Empire.
