About the 9mm Luger/Nato/Parabellum/Etc.
As H. W. McBride said, in A RIFLEMAN WENT TO WAR, a Luger was just fine for knockout power. When they were doing a patrol one of the men picked up a Luger in a pistol belt from a deserted trench. Upon being surprised by a sentry, he swung the holstered Luger by the belt and brained the German. As far as using it as a shootin arn, however, McBride stated the 9mm Luger was not a good killer.
This was in WWI, about 80 years ago, and people now are finding the LEOs have to empty their 9mm Glocks to stop a suspect. Something has been lost, and I think it is common sense.
