Have the Japanese ever used Lugers P08 in WW2 or did they have another signature gun?
Yes, the Japanese used Lugers P08 in WW2, although it was not their main service weapon. Lugers were considered prestigious pistols, and were often carried by officers in the Imperial Japanese Army. However, the primary service weapon of the Japanese military was the Type 14 Nambu pistol, which was a reliable and effective weapon chambered in 8mm Nambu cartridge.
Although Lugers P08 were not as common as Type 14 Nambus in the Japanese military, they were still used to some extent and were captured by Allied forces during the war. Today, Japanese Lugers are highly prized by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
