The '''Gewehr-Granatpatrone 40''' or '''GGP/40''' for short was a shaped charge rifle grenade used by German forces during the Second World War. It was originally developed for Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger units to provide them with a light and portable anti-tank weapon. The GGP/40 was not fired from the same Schiessbecher used by the army, instead using its own spigot type launcher. Unlike the rifle grenades used by the army the GGP/40 did not fit inside the Schiessbecher but instead, it had a rubber gasket at the base and fit around the Schiessbecher and was held in place by a clip. The GGP/40 was propelled by a rifle cartridge that fired a hollow wooden bullet instead of a blank cartridge.
