The Fallschirmjager Light Gun Platoons were armed with the light recoilless 7.5 cm LG 40 Gun which was designed for use in airborne operations. It first went into action during the Operation Merkur (the invasion of Crete) in 1941 where it was dropped in four separate containers, although methods were refined and only two drop containers were used in later operations. It was of very light construction, making it ideal for the Fallschirmjager, and it was also pushed into service with other German light troops where its weight made it ideal for mountain operations. Unfortunately, like all recoilless weapons, the LG 40 had a substantial back blast creating a hazardous cone behind the weapon and it also kicked up a lot of dust when firing, often giving away the gun's position.
