Firing the signal pistol through the close-in defense weapon
2,6-cm-Sprenggranatpatrone 326 LP Pz (high explosive) for signal and combat pistol
The 2,6-cm-Sprenggranatpatrone 326 LP Pz was in contrast to the 2,6-cm-Sprenggranatpatrone 326 LP not designed to be used by infantry or paratroopers, but to be fired out of armored vehicles. Whilst the 2,6-cm-Sprenggranatpatrone LP 326 was fitted out with a time fuse, the 2,6-cm-Sprenggranatpatrone 326 LP Pz was ignited using the burning fuse of the Eihandgranate 39 (egg hand grenade) which was connected to the cartridge base with an about 300 mm long steel wire. The firings happened with the signal pistol throughout the Nahverteidigungswaffe, but could also be made from the hatch.
