Leuchtpistole 42

A German flare gun firing the Panzerwurfkörper 42 grenade

The Leuchtpistole 42, simply "Light Pistol" in English, is the predecessor of the vanilla Sturmpistole grenade launcher. It was produced by the HASAG company, heavily implicated in being manufactured with forced labour.

Fourth weapon mod, a real flare gun that operates (almost) similarly to the Sturmpistole! Stumbling across this model inspired me to make it, especially for when other round types are made for the Sturmpistole - and they do exist!

Features

• The Leuchtpistole 42 is found in the Grenade Laucher section of the item spawner, has a single tube with which to load the grenade, and is chambered in the Sturm Grenade.
• Designed for the Sturmpistole ordnance, spawnable from the new item spawner. Old item spawner users will need to use the ammo panel.
• The tube must be unlatched to be able to load from the front. This fuctionality is kept if and when the 26.6mm Flare Cartridge is ever created in H3.
• A completely gold variant as its own item spawner entry

Planned

• Introduction of the three other cartridges that can fire from this gun (Multi-Star Signal Cartridge, Wufgranate Patrone 326, Wurfkorper 361)
• Bundled with this mod, a rename of the Sturmgrenade's name to "Panzerwurfkörper 42" to reflect its real world name
• The ability to load a dummy round in the rear of the barrel to fire a Sturmgrenade from the front - like an SMLE grenade launcher
• The ability to load flares in the back of the tube and grenades in the front, without crossing over.
