This video delves into the history and usage of the Luger P08 artillery variant, also known as the Lange Pistole 08 (lP08). Originally adopted in 1913 for field artillery troops, its compact size and pistol-caliber carbine design offered significant firepower. The video highlights its adoption by aviators before the widespread use of aerial machine guns and its crucial role with German Sturmtruppen in World War I. The development of the 32-round drum magazine in 1916 for these troops is emphasized. The lP08's legacy is primarily tied to the Great War, with limited use in subsequent decades.
