Mauser

Mauser is a firearms manufacturing company that boomed in the 1800's under the direction of Paul Mauser and his brother Willhelm Mauser in Germany.

Mauser is most well known from two of it's designs, the Mauser 98 Rifle, and the C96 Broomhandle Pistol.

Mauser created the bolt action system as we know it today, derived from early needle operated systems. Mauser desinged rifles became the standard in most developed European nations by the late 1870's (especially in Germany) The Mauser 98, created in 1898 was, and still is considered one of the best bolt-action rifles ever. The Mauser also featured a five round internal magazine. In a conclusion from the Spanish-American war where the Mauser was being used against us, the United States also switched to using a rifle that highly copied Mauser, the Springfield m1903 The Mauser 98 and variants served Germany through two World Wars, and many third world countries continued using the 98 until the 1980's. Even today many of the most popular bolt-action rifles still use the original Mauser action.

Also, Mauser is generally credited with producing the first practical semi-automatic pistol in 1896, the C96 Broomhandle Mauser which predated the original Luger design by 2 years . Though the borchardt pistol predated it, it was too clumsy for practical use. The C96 served informally in large numbers throughout Europe throughout the World War I Europe, but by far the largest users were the Chinese which used it in large numbers beyond World War II and in many chamberings. A modified C96 was also used as the blaster pistol in the Star Wars original trilogy.

Ping 999

999 ping is caused by games who do not allow more than 3-digit pings, and players who have such an incredibly laggy play that it's a wonder they're even playing...

Generally, it is above 999 ping, somewhere between 1200-4000... At 999 ping it is so unbearable that you may have to wait a minute just to know that the next round has begun.

That 999 pinger just joined the server!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

P.08 Luger

The P.08 Luger is the pistol used by Germany through both World Wars as well as by many other countries. The Luger was originally chamered in 7.65 Luger, which was a shortened 7.63 Mauser cartridge. The first model Luger was invented in 1898 by Georg Luger, and it was highly based off of the Borchard pistol, but was a much more compact, and useful design.

They were originally just called the P.08, but they are known as Lugers after their inventer's name.

The model we know today most popularly, is the Model P.08 Luger, introduced in 1908 as the standard sidearm of the German military. It deviated from previous lugers by eliminating the grip safety and being chambered in 9mm Parabellum, which is the 7.65 Luger casing redesigned to fit a 9mm projectile as requested by the Wehrmacht(German Army.)

The 9mm cartridge is used by the U.S. Military currently in the M9, and is the NATO standard pistol cartridge.

There were many manufacturers of Lugers, some of the most popular being Mauser, DWM, Kreighoff, and others. The German Army used a 4" Barrel version, which is most popular, while the Navy's version had a 6" barrel. Artillery crews had 10" barrels. Lugers have an 8 round capacity, however drum magazines made for the Artillery Lugers hold many more rounds.

Lugers were known to be extremely accurate, even by todays standards, due to the fixed barrel design. They operate off of the Maxim toggle action that the first machineguns used. Lugers were made to extremely high tolerances, and fit together with immense precision. Lugers with all matching parts and in good condition with original finish can be worth a lot of money today. In 1938, the German military was mainly producing the Walther P38 because it was a far cheaper design due to the lack of required hand fitting. Lugers were produced until the end of World War II however. Lugers are the first practical semi-auto pistols to be made, and were extremely influential in the world of handguns. They are also fabulously beautiful pistols and pieces of history and art, well sought after by collectors.

The German Soldier pulled out his Luger to fend off the communists.
