This video delves into the development history of the iconic Walther P38 pistol. It traces the lineage from Walther's initial development in 1932, exploring two distinct design paths: a scaled-up blowback PP and a locked-breech design. The presentation covers early prototypes like the "MP" pistols, the "Armee Pistole" (AP) in standard and long-barreled configurations, the second Model MP, and the commercial "HP" model that preceded the final P38. A notable inclusion is a sheet metal prototype from the earliest stages of the locked-breech development. The P38 is highlighted as Germany's 1938 replacement for the Luger, driven by cost-effectiveness rather than inherent Luger flaws.
