Luger P.08

For a similarly named weapon, see Luger Artillery Pistol.

The Luger P.08 or the Luger, as more commonly called, is a semi-automatic pistol used by the Germans during World War I and World War II. It was later replaced with the Walther P.38.

Campaign
The Luger is seen in the early levels in the American, Russian, and British Campaigns. This is the sidearm of choice for the Germans, but the Italians can be seen with them sometimes. The Luger becomes rarer in the later levels until you can only find about five in the level "End of the Facist Rule" were only four officers can be seen with them. One officer has a Luger Akimbo. It becomes an Easter Egg in the Modern Warfare Campaign. It can be found in gunshops and in the level "Museum".

Multiplayer
The Luger is unlocked at Level 1. It has low damage and a moderate recoil which makes it not one of the best weapons to use. Unlike previous Call of Duty games, the Luger actually has the correct amount of rounds in the magazine. Even though it is better then the M1911A1, it is still best to keep this as a last resort weapon. This is the default weapon for Last Stand for the Light Gunner Class. The Luger has slightly higher damage than the M1911A1 and has better accuracy. The Luger is the second most powerful pistol in the starting weapon classes. The others being; M1911A1, M1917 Revolver, Vis, and the Nambu.
