"Prepair" without the "r" if you will.
With the accent on -per, like peePER. All "Allo Allo" jokes aside...
I believe the correct French pronunciation of Henri Pieper is ‘peeper’ rather than ‘piper’.
I am curious if it is known why 32 and smaller pocket guns were so widely accepted by the European military - Is it in part that the role of a European officer was to ensure orders followed by conscripts and the pistol was a uniform enforcement tool of officers to get conscripts to comply more than it was a combat handgun?
Traditionally, a badge of rank, like a sword. As an officer, the soldiers are your weapons.
23:42 Epic trolling 👏😉
Probably dumb question. But with the different calibers available on the model, did they also mark the magazines to show caliber the magazine took? Just thinking of a what if scenario with a person or soldier having no experience with small danger bean flavors(calibers). Happy New Years Eve everyone
I don't believe so, but I've also never handled a 380
You couldn’t have waited for the auction to close! Hahahah. Thanks for another great video!
Oh no! Sorry
Best paired with the Montenegrin episode
Did you refer the .380 as a 9mm Largo at around 21:30 or so? I thought you previously stated that the .380 is known in Europe as the 9mm Kurz.
He was talking about the Bergman-Bayard at that point, which was chambered in 9mm Largo.
