The '''LP-42 Flare Gun''', also known as '''Leuchtpistole 42''', was a WW2-era German flare gun. Using a simplified design compared to the [[Leuchtpistole]] to save precious war materials and production effort, the LP-42 is made out of stamped galvanized steel rather than being fully machined. The LP-42 is capable of firing 27mm flares, smoke grenades, anti-personnel grenades, and anti-armor grenades.
