Production numbers are not precisely known but were evidently large, as these bombs formed part of the standard German aerial ordnance inventory until about 1916, when they were gradually replaced by the more aerodynamic bombs developed by the \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003ePrüfanstalt und Werft der Fliegertruppen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e (P.u.W.) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOperational Use\u003c\/strong\u003e: Serving primarily as an anti-personnel and light-target fragmentation weapon, this bomb equipped a range of German reconnaissance aircraft, two-seat combat aircraft, and heavy platforms including rigid airships. Because of its relatively small size, aircraft could carry multiple bombs at once, often dropped manually by the observer from racks or internal stowage before standardized release gear became widespread.
