More likely, at least from the expressions of the spectators, some kind of "photo-op" ...

I still sometimes think I need a Luger but don't know why. My Dad brought a silver plated one back from WW-2, supposedly an officers gun. He sold it when I was still pretty young and I know who has it. He doesn't want to sell it back but it may become available at some point since his kids don't have much interest in his collection and he is around 90.

I think everyone needs a Luger, a Garand, a 1911, a Mauser, a Mosin Nagant, an old S&W revolver.... Well I guess if everyone had them no one would want them....

I understand that. I've sort of always wanted a Luger myself. But when I look at them, I realize I just really don't like the feel and the toggle charger. Just me, I know, because hundreds of thousands of people seem to either have one, or be looking for one.

Almost bought one at the last TCMA show I went to, but that was several years back.

Another in the "I want category" is a Chinese "Red 9" Mauser. I see myself doing this before a Luger.

Poor horse. It'd have to be stone deaf to not flinch when that rifle goes off.

I didn't know that they had women snipers in WW-2 but here are a few, all Russian, did other armies have women snipers in WW-2.

The first one is two Soviet snipers from the Red Army's 25th Rifle Division. The one on the left is Ludmila Pavlichenko a Ukrainian Soviet sniper. Credited with 309 kills, she is regarded as the most successful female sniper in history.

Second is two more Russian snipers.

Third is In early 1941, Lyudmila Pavlichenko again

Forth is Nina Lobkovskaya, Red Army Sniper

Women where a huge part of the USSR military forces during WWII and their snipers achieved great success.
