The Lange Pistole 08 (LP08), or Artillery Luger, was developed to provide German artillery troops with a weapon offering more range and firepower than a standard pistol, bridging the gap between a sidearm and a carbine. It featured a shoulder stock, an adjustable rear sight up to 800 meters, and could be equipped with a 32-round drum magazine for increased capacity. Initially adopted in 1913, its widespread deployment was delayed by bureaucratic issues, impacting its availability at the start of WWI. The LP08 also saw service with the German Flying Service before synchronized machine guns became standard.
