<br />
The '''Schiessbecher''' (alternatively: ''Schießbecher'') - literally "shooting cup" - was a German [[grenade launcher]] of [[World War II]].<br />
<br />
A ''Gewehrgranatgerät'' ("rifle grenade device") based on [[rifle grenade]] launcher models designed during World War I it fitted to the end of a rifle, the grenade being propelled by a special rifle cartridge. The ''Schiessbecher'' was introduced in 1942 and intended to replace all previous rifle grenade launcher models in use by German armed forces.<br />
<br />
The ''Schiessbecher'' rifle grenade launcher could be used against infantry, fortifications and light armored vehicles up to a range of {{convert|280|m|yd|lk=on|abbr=on}}. For these differing tasks several specialized grenades with accompanying special propelling cartridges were developed for the ''Schiessbecher''. The rifle grenade propelling cartridges fired a wooden projectile through the barrel to the rifle grenade that upon impact automatically primed the rifle grenade.<br />
<br />
The ''Schiessbecher'' had a short rifled barrel with a [[caliber]] of {{convert|30|mm|in|lk=on|abbr=on}} and a length of {{convert|250|mm|in|abbr=on}}. It weighed {{convert|750|g|oz|lk=on|abbr=on}} and could be attached to weapons chambered for [[7.92×57mm Mauser|7.92mm Mauser]] ammunition like the [[Karabiner 98k]], [[Gewehr 98#Karabiner 98a|Karabiner 98a]] and G98/40 version of the Hungarian [[35M rifle|35M]] bolt-action rifles or the [[FG 42]] automatic rifle<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.whq-forum.de/cms/604.0.html |title=Der Schießbecher (Gewehrgranatgerät) | language=German}}</ref><br />
<br />
A rather complicated aiming device was mounted to the left of the original sights and allowed for aiming ranges from 0 of up to {{convert|250|m|yd|abbr=on}} in {{convert|25|m|yd|abbr=on}} increments.<br />
<br />
The ''Schiessbecher'' was produced until May 1944. The total production was 1,450,114.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=Kqm5J6W1VuQC&dq=schiessbecher&pg=PA170] Miller, David "Fighting Men of World War II: Uniforms, Equipment and Weapons."
