Landwarrior Airsoft, after their website went down due to a snafu with their hosting provider is back online and they have the new WE Luger... "WE have steadily proven themselves as a good producer of GBB pistols. Normally only producing 1911's and High Capas this is their first "new style" pistol. The Luger is often thought to be the original bad guy gun largely due to it's roots. This is a stunning side arm for those who always wanted one but didn't want the price tag of a Tanaka.
History:
The P.08 was the usual sidearm for German Army personnel in both world wars, though it was being replaced by the Walther P38 starting in 1938. In 1930, Mauser took over manufacture of the P.08 (until 1943). The Swiss Army evaluated the Luger pistol in 7.65 mm P (.30 Luger in USA) and adopted it in 1900 as its standard sidearm, designated Ordonnanzpistole 00 or OP00, in 1900.
'Artillery Luger' Lange Pistole 08 with 32 round Trommelmagazin 08 and removable stock.The Luger pistol was accepted by the German Navy in 1904, and in 1908 (as Pistole 08) by the German Army (chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum) replacing the Reichsrevolver. The Lange Pistole 08 or Artillery Luger had a stock and longer barrel, and sometimes used with a 32 round drum magazine (Trommelmagazin 08)."
