Leuchtpistole
The Leuchtpistole ('flare pistol') was a smooth bore flare gun introduced to the Reichswehr in 1928. Naturally it was also used by the German Armed Forces in WW2 (Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Waffen-SS, Kriegsmarine). Initially designed for use with illumination and signal ammunition, the German army issued an order to develop high explosive ammo, which was introduced in 1942.

Leuchtpistole Z or Kampfpistole Z
To increase the range of Leuchtpistole, the Leuchtpistole Z (or also called Kampfpistole Z = 'battle pistol') was introduced in 1941. 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. This weapon could fire either the standard ammo (same as Leuchtpistole, smooth bore 26,65mm) or also specially designed rifled bore ammo in caliber 27,2mm.
Specifications

- Manufacturer: Walther & Erma

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 twisted 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.
Specifications
- Country: Germany
- Manufacturer: Walther & Erma
- Calibre: 26,65mm or 27mm
- Date of Manufacture: from 1942 onwards
- Barrel Length: 155mm (smooth or rifled bore)
