The Artillery Luger draws its name from its intended mission. Artillery crews had their hands full servicing their field pieces and required a compact weapon that wouldn’t interfere with their primary duties. Should their positions be threatened, however, they could bring their Luger carbines into action in the close fight.
The Artillery Luger also saw widespread use by the Imperial Stormtroopers who specialized in close quarters operations later in the war in Trench Raider's.
The weapon’s compact dimensions made maneuvering among hostile trenches an easier chore than might be the case with a full-sized infantry rifle. Waffen SS troops even used the Artillery Luger in a limited fashion during the Second World War as well.
