The Kampfpistole (“battle pistol”) was an adapted flare pistol used by the Germans in WWII that could also be used to fire explosive charges at lightly armored targets. The adaptation stemmed from a desire to have a more accurate delivery of explosive rounds than from a regular flare pistol. For this reason, a flare pistol (the ‘Leuchtpistole Modell 1934’) was equipped with a grooved barrel and the naming was changed to Kampfpistole ('battle pistol'). This model has the alternative name ‘Leuchtpistole Z’ ('Flarepistol Z' with 'Z' referring to Züge’ meaning 'grooves' in German) and it has a ‘Z’ painted on the left side of the chamber. A version fitted with a shoulder stock is known as Sturmpistole ('assault pistol').

To increase the range of Leuchtpistole, the Leuchtpistole Z (or also called Kampfpistole Z = 'battle pistol') was introduced in 1942. The main difference between the standard Leuchtpistole and the Leuchtpistole Z was a rifled bore and on the left side of the weapon the letter Z (with 'Z' referring to 'Züge' meaning 'grooves' in German) was stamped in.

Sturmpistole

In 1942 a HEAT (=High Explosive Anti Tank) device was introduced called the 'Panzer-Wurfkörper 42 LP'. It featured a rod on its tail which had to be turned a little bit when inserted into the muzzle so it could fit into the bores. In order to fire the 'Panzer-Wurfkörper 42 LP', the Kampfpistole had to be adjusted with additional accessories (sights, shoulder stock, etc). Thus the Sturmpistole ('assault pistol') was born. It was also possible to convert the standard smooth bore Leuchtpistole into the Sturmpistole, to do so an additional bore insert had to be put into the barrel.
