		De Zwitserse Luger is gekamerd voor 7,65mm Parabellum munitie en werd door het Zwitserse leger in 1900 geaccepteerd.
		De Parabellum is dus het eerste pistool dat 9mm parabellum patronen gebruikte en tot op de dag van vandaag is deze patroon de meest gebruikte pistoolpatroon ter wereld.

	Luger pistol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Luger pistol was manufactured to very high standards and thus has a very long service life, in excess of 100 years with proper maintenance and care, albeit dependent on the number of rounds fired.
		Luger pistols are extremely accurate due to precise engineering, ergonomic grip angle and shape, decent trigger pull, and a design that allows the barrel to remain aligned with the axis of the frame during use.
		Luger pistols function reliably when properly maintained, but their close mechanical tolerances are not suited to dirty battlefield conditions since much of their firing mechanism is exposed.
