The LP-42 Flare Gun also known as Leuchtpistole 42/ Kampfpistole was a simplified design to save precious war materials and production effort, the LP42 is made out of stamped steel or zinc in the white instead of being fully machined. The LP-42 Flare Pistol is capable of firing 27mm flares, smoke grenades, anti-personel grenades and anti-armour grenades.
