7.65×21mm Parabellum

The 7.65×21mm Parabellum is a rimless pistol cartridge that was introduced into the German Military by the year 1898. It was an early caliber round that helped shape others like it throughout it's service.
==Overview==
During the late 19th century, the Borchardt C-93 pistol was proven too heavy to wield and therefore it needed to be improved. Georg Luger then came up with the 7.65×21mm Parabellum, based on the 7.65x25mm Borchardt. This round was much shorter and it was one of the first to be used in the Luger P08 which came out around the time of World War 1. It served in both the first war and then in the second world war. By 1949, this round was replaced by the 9×19mm Parabellum.
