Lugers are German pistols that were used by the military and police during the World Wars. The word "lugers" can be used interchangeably with the term "P08," which refers to the official designation of the weapon. Additionally, the term "parabellum" can also be used to describe the Luger pistol, as it was used in the famous phrase "Si vis pacem, para bellum," which translates to "if you want peace, prepare for war." The Luger pistol was also widely referred to as the "Luger DWM," as it was manufactured by the Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken, or the German Weapons and Ammunition Factory.
