This video explores the fascinating history and mechanics of the 32-round "snail drum" (Trommelmagazin 08) magazine for the Luger artillery pistol (LangePistole 08). Developed in 1916, these high-capacity magazines offered increased firepower to stormtroopers before the advent of submachine guns. The description details the drum's unique dual-spring mechanism, combining a coil spring in the stick portion with a flat clock spring in the drum, tensioned by a lever. It highlights how the mechanism transitions between springs during firing. The video notes the rarity and value of these magazines today, often discarded post-WWI as submachine gun technology advanced.
