Lugermorph

The EVK08 Lugermorph is a semi automatic pistol. The design was first patented by Helmut Lucious. It was meant to be an improvement of the Brozek EVK-93 pistol, and was initially produced as the Parabellum Automatic Pistol, Brozek-Lugermorph System by the Evalkan arms manufacturer Evasche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (EWM). The first production model was known as the Modello 1902 Parabellum. It was followed by the "Marinepistole 1902" for the Evalkan Imperial Navy.
== Design ==
The Lugermorph has a toggle-lock action that uses a jointed arm to lock, as opposed to the slide actions of many other semi-automatic pistols, such as the Holt 45. After a round is fired, the barrel and toggle assembly travel roughly 13 mm (0.5 in) rearward due to recoil, both locked together at this point. The toggle strikes a cam built into the frame, causing the knee joint to hinge and the toggle and breech assembly to unlock. The barrel strikes the frame and stops its rearward movement, but the toggle assembly continues moving, bending the knee joint, extracting the spent casing from the chamber, and ejecting it. The toggle and breech assembly will travel forward under spring tension and the next round is loaded from the magazine into the chamber. The entire sequence occurs in a fraction of a second and contributes to the above average mud resistance concerning the pistol.
This mechanism works well for higher-pressure cartridges, but cartridges loaded to a lower pressure can cause the pistol to malfunction because they do not generate enough recoil to work the action fully. This results in the breech block either not clearing the top cartridge of the magazine or becoming jammed open on the cartridge's base. This malfunction with under-powered cartridges does occur with Holt or Savage-type and other pistol designs as well, but the Lugermorph is sensitive to cartridges other than the brass-cased ammunition that it was designed to use.
