If you saw the HBO special Band of Brothers—which was mostly based on true events, Private Hubler always wanted a German Officer’s Luger. Well, during the Battle of the Bulge, he shot a Nazi on horseback, and got his Luger. Later when showing it to everyone, when he put it in his pocket afterwards, it went off.

He died within 5 minutes, despite Doc Roe being there and immediately treating him.

Yup, right threw the femoral artery.
