What was the point of the Artillery Luger?

It is my understanding that with the long bbl. and a shoulder stock attached, one had a short bbl rifle that was more accurate and functional at distance than a 4in bbl. handgun. The whole unit could be broken down for easy storage/carrying, and then assembled quickly when needed. To me, it was between a service rifle and a handgun that was developed for certain personnel.
