The 21&nbsp;cm ''Nebelwerfer'' 42 rocket, which was introduced in 1942, had a longer range ({{convert|7850|m|yd}}) and a simpler design than the smaller 15&nbsp;cm rocket. It was only made with high-explosive warheads and was fired from a five-tube launcher that used the same carriage as the smaller weapon. Liner rails were used to allow it to fire the smaller 15&nbsp;cm rocket. It was also adapted for use by the [[Luftwaffe]] to break up [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] bomber formations in 1943 as the [[Werfer-Granate 21|''Werfer-Granate'' 21]].<ref name="c"/> Over four hundred thousand rockets and 1,400 launchers were completed.<ref name="p"/>
