LG40 = Puppchen?


Recommended Posts

Just got GL. So first off.. anyone want a GL pbem? Im itching to try out a scenario or new equipment.

Second - surprised noone mentioned the Fallschirm recoilless rifle - I just noticed it. Are LG40s the same thing as puppchens?

Sublime,

No, they are not. We first had the 7.5 cm LG 40 (a stubby, true recoilless rifle, combat debut Crete) in CMBO, where it figured prominently in the epic FOTM (Fire On The Mountain) ROW scenario. Here's the LG 40.

The Puppchen is 8.8 cm, is designated Raketenwerfer 43 and works on an entirely different principle (closed breech launch of the same rocket as a Panzaerchreck fires).

Regards,

John Kettler
