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.

The Leuchtpistole ('flare pistol') was a German smooth bore flare gun introduced to the Reichswehr in 1928. It was also used by the German Armed Forces in WW2 (Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Waffen-SS, Kriegsmarine). The Leuchtpistole was primarily produced by Walther, but also by Erma and Bernard Berhauss.

During World War II, the German army issued an order to develop high explosive ammo for their 26.65mm flare guns, which was introduced in 1942 (such as the Wurfgranatpatrone 326 LP grenade round or the Wurfkörper 361 LP grenade projector).

* Country: Germany
There are multiple models of flare guns under this design.
* Manufacturer: Walther & Erma
* '''Model Heer 26''': Also known as simply Model 26 (Heer stands for Army, 26 indicates the year of design, 1926), they are the earliest designs of the Leuchtpistole, and are somewhat similar to the WWI-era [[Hebel Flare Pistol Model 1894|Hebel flare pistol]]. They are noted by their much longer 232 mm barrel, giving a total length of 324 mm. The barrel length ended up making them rather cumbersome to use, so many examples had their barrels cut down, and later production versions had a shorter 155 mm barrel, giving a total length of 247 mm. Surviving long-barreled versions are relatively rare. Short versions can be distinguished from later variants by their smaller trigger guard, though mystery hybrid models with later versions are known to exist.
* Calibre: 27mm
* '''Model Heer 34''': Also known as simply Model 34, this was the second model to appear. The original's steel material was replaced with the lighter duralumin (an aluminum alloy), the walnut grip on the Model Heer 26 was replaced by Bakelite brown or black colored wooden grips, and the trigger guard is expanded to make it easier to use with a glove.
*Date of Manufacture: from 1943 onwards
* '''Model Heer''': Introduced in 1940, this version differed from its predecessors in some details, such as a different and thinner hammer and the presence of a load indicator. This model was manufactured from 1940 to 1943.
* Barrel Length: 6 inches
* '''Model Zink''': This was the zinc version of the Model Heer produced after 1943, which replaced the original's duralumin with zinc to reduce manufacturing costs.

[[File:Kampfpistole z.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Kampfpistole - 25x35.5mmR/26.65mm]]
To increase the range of Leuchtpistole, the Leuchtpistole Z (referring to 'Züge', meaning 'grooves' in German), also known as the Kampfpistole ('battle pistol') was introduced in 1941. It was also commonly nicknamed Kampfpistole Z. These are often Model 34 or Heer Leuchtpistole converted with a rifled bore. The main visual difference between the standard Leuchtpistole and the Leuchtpistole Z was a letter Z stamped on the left side of the weapon. This weapon primarily fires special rifled 25x35.5mmR ammunition, but some sources have stated that it can also fire the standard 26.65mm ammunition.
Some of the Kampfpistole have a small inclinometer sight attached on the left side of the pistol.

In 1942, a HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) projectile known as the 'Panzerwurfkörper 42 LP' was developed for the Leuchtpistole/Kampfpistole. It was designed for use with additional accessories attached to the pistol, including an indirect firing sight, a shoulder stock to resist the high recoil of the projectile, and a special rifled bore insert placed into the barrel from the breech. Thus the Sturmpistole ('assault pistol') was born. The Sturmpistole can use normal Leuchtpistole/Kampfpistole rounds by removing the bore insert.

The Leuchtpistole ('flare pistol') was a German smooth bore flare gun introduced to the Reichswehr in 1928. It was also used by the German Armed Forces in WW2 (Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Waffen-SS, Kriegsmarine). The Leuchtpistole was primarily produced by Walther, but also by Erma and Bernard Berhauss.

There are multiple models of flare guns under this design.

  • Model Heer 26: Also known as simply Model 26 (Heer stands for Army, 26 indicates the year of design, 1926), they are the earliest designs of the Leuchtpistole, and are somewhat similar to the WWI-era Hebel flare pistol. They are noted by their much longer 232 mm barrel, giving a total length of 324 mm. The barrel length ended up making them rather cumbersome to use, so many examples had their barrels cut down, and later production versions had a shorter 155 mm barrel, giving a total length of 247 mm. Surviving long-barreled versions are relatively rare. Short versions can be distinguished from later variants by their smaller trigger guard, though mystery hybrid models with later versions are known to exist.
  • Model Heer 34: Also known as simply Model 34, this was the second model to appear. The original's steel material was replaced with the lighter duralumin (an aluminum alloy), the walnut grip on the Model Heer 26 was replaced by Bakelite brown or black colored wooden grips, and the trigger guard is expanded to make it easier to use with a glove.
  • Model Heer: Introduced in 1940, this version differed from its predecessors in some details, such as a different and thinner hammer and the presence of a load indicator. This model was manufactured from 1940 to 1943.
  • Model Zink: This was the zinc version of the Model Heer produced after 1943, which replaced the original's duralumin with zinc to reduce manufacturing costs.
