Description:
The M30 Luftwaffe drilling (“triple”) was a survival weapon issued to Luftwaffe pilots during World War II. It was intended to be used in the event that a pilot was shot down, for defense and for hunting game to stay alive until rescue. For maximum versatility the M30 featured two 12 gauge shotgun barrels, and a 9.3x74mmR rifle barrel. They were manufactured by the German firm JP Sauer.If you’re wondering why the rifle looks similar to a hunting rifle. Drilling has been a tradition of high German hunting culture dating back to the 19th century. The drillings were not guns for the common hunter but for the upper class, as they were heavily decorated. (That is the reason they are worth a lot of money – $25K) The M30 drilling featured two 12 gauge barrels and a rifle barrel chambered for 9.3x73mm.The M30 was issued with 20 rounds of 12 gauge birdshot shells, 25 twelve gauge slugs, and 20 rounds of 9x74mmR.It was typically stored disassembled in a crate with ammunition and accessories. On the record only 2,500 drillings were produced out of 4,000.
