The 9x19 Parabellum, also known as Luger 9mm is a munition created to use in the German pistol Luger Parabellum during the First World War. The Luger 9mm was used in many European submachine guns created in the Cold War, like the P-90 and the HK MP5.

Description
The Caliber 9 mm Parabellum (Aka For 9 mm, 9 mm Luger, 9 mm NATO or 9 x 19 mm) Was created in Germany to be used in Pistol Parabellum ( Luger ) and was adopted by Marine and Army of that country in 1904 and 1908 respectively. It is the size of the appropriation NATO and virtually all Western countries, including USA. Became famous for being the most widely used gauge during the wars, using the pistols and also the submachine. Well recently, submachine guns were manufactured mainly in caliber 9mm Parabellum.

The origin of Fame 9 mm pistol was made out to be an excellent weapon of war. Its high transfixation allowed in a single shot, two opponents are attained. The advance of the enemy lines were made by groups, thus aiming at the soldier's face , this would be achieved , transfixed , and the soldier who came back would also be achieved, or even better power transfixed with their uniforms equipment transported. This characteristic was the most coveted and at that time there was not the concept of Stopping Power. The power of a pistol or caliber, was established only by its penetrating power. Neither was required Stopping Power during the fighting of war that are made especially for long distances, and auto power transfixation was needed in fighting fronts , because the bullet could transfix a small tree, doors, windows or the bodywork of a vehicle to hit the enemy below.

In combat, a soldier wounded enemy would cause more damage than a dead enemy briefly, because his fellow company would be delayed or partner would be dependent on the wounded, leaving them more vulnerable. Thus, the concept that a weapon of war killed in summary was another myth. The death summary of the affected region depend.

In spite of the lower stopping power (Stopping Power), the reader should not fool with these characteristics, because the 9mm is still an extremely lethal weapon of enormous power and penetration, though the propaganda of this caliber demonstrates ignorance of its best use.

The 9mm is not the ideal caliber for self defense, which occurs in clashes ranging from 5m to 30m and generally in the urban area of big cities. The danger of hitting an innocent who would be behind would be imminent, in addition to the offender could be transfixed and still remain standing to take the weapon who is with the pistol in self-defense. However, the penetrating power of the 9mm can be " modified " with the use of munitions such as " hollow point ", thus reducing the penetration and greatly increasing the stopping power.
