Editorial Reviews

Marvels of technology and spectacular in their sheer power, big guns have shaped the nature of warfare for centuries. Though of humble origins, they evolved into some of the biggest and most complicated machines of destruction ever made. Put in your earplugs as we fire the Parrot, Big Bertha, Gustav, and Atomic Annie, among others.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Luger Pistol-100 yrs and going STRONG, October 27, 2000

This review is from: Tales Of The Gun - The Luger [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great documentary of the history of the Luger pistol from its inception around the turn of the century in 1900 to the present. Illustrated history of a great gun used by many countries and revered more than any pistol in history by collectors. From the early test trials with the US Army, through footage of its unique and extremely fast toggle action, and describing some of the many, many variations of this fine gun, to firing a Million dollar one of a kind Luger, to modern production still on going of this classic firearm, ultimately to the world reknown Luger dealer Ralph Shattuck. This segment of the Tales of the Gun shows a brief glimse into the history and use of this fasinating pistol. The shooting sequences are amazing. Good enough for the German Army, Airforce, and Navy, this fantasic marvel of German Engineering still amazes many even today! Segments of information from Fred Datig, Charlie Kenyon, Michael Krause, Garry James and Ralph Shattuck all reknown experts are included. Terrific History Documentation of the first order!
