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.

The '''''Leuchtpistole 42''''', or '''LP 42''' for short, was a WW2-era German flare gun. The LP 42 uses a simplified design compared to the [[Leuchtpistole]] in order to save costs and optimize production, being made out of stamped galvanized steel rather than being fully machined. The LP 42 is capable of firing all German WWII-era 27mm flares and flare gun-compatible projectiles, including smoke grenades, anti-personnel grenades, and anti-armor grenades.
 
Some LP-42s have rifled barrels, much like the [[Kampfpistole]], but these examples are very rare.
