	Grenade launcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A grenade launcher is a weapon that launches a grenade to greater distances than a soldier could throw by hand.
		Its heavy equivalent is the XM307 ACSW automatic grenade launcher that is reportedly convertible between the 25 mm grenade ammunition and standard.50 BMG cartridges.
		This may seem like the ideal system for grenade launchers, however, due to the fact that once a barrel's charges are expended, you would then be carrying dead weight or have to throw away an entire barrel instead of simply inserting a new magazine or belt.

	FN F2000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The forward handguard can be removed to equip a variety of accessories such as laser aiming modules (LAM), 40 mm grenade launcher with push-button safety, 12-gauge shotgun, M303 less-lethal launcher, or the triple rail found on the F2000 Tactical.
		There is an Israeli system that uses the M203 and computerized sight to fire 40 mm airburst grenades.
		Neither of these should be confused with the 20 mm and 25 mm grenades of the U.S. program.

	Modern Firearms - GP-25 and GP-30 underbarrel grenade launcher
		Both types of grenades utilize same integral "caseless" design, with the propellant and primer contained in the base of the grenade, so, when grenade is fired, there's nothing left in the barrel to remove/extract prior to loading of next grenade.
		Grenades are loaded from the muzzle and held in the barrel by a spring catch.
		This means that upon the impact on the ground, a special charge in the nose of grenade ignites and bounces it to a height of approximately one meter, where grenade explodes.

	HyperWar: Handbook on Japanese Military Forces
		This grenade has been adopted for use as a rifle grenade by replacing the propellant charge normally found screwed into the base of this grenade, with a fin assembly.
		Although there is no evidence to date that the stick grenade, the bangalore torpedo, or the explosive cannister from the barrage mortar shell have been used as booby traps, the fact that all have pull igniters and accidents have occurred to troops handling them, prove that they are most suitable as such.
		This grenade can be used as a booby trap by attaching one end of a trip wire to the ring and the other end to a moveable object such as a door, helmet, etc.

	FM 23-31 Appendix A - 40-MM Grenade Launcher, M79
		The M79 grenade launcher is a single-shot, break-open, breech-loading, shoulder-fired weapon (Figure A-1).
		The grenade's 37,000 rpm right-hand spin stabilizes the grenade during flight and applies enough rotational force to arm the fuze.
		The M79 grenade launcher does not eject rounds automatically; remove the expended cartridge case or live round from the barrel (Figure A-17).

	"BLOOPER" THE M-79 GRENADE LAUNCHER: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		The M79 was designed as a close support weapon for the infantry, and was intended to bridge the gap between the maximum throwing distance of a hand grenade, and the lowest range of supporting mortar fire.
		The M-406 40mm HE grenades fired from the M79 traveled at a muzzle velocity of 75 meters per second, and contained enough explosive within a steel casing that upon impact with the target would produce over 300 fragments at 1,524 meters per second within a lethal radius of up to 5 meters (?).
		Stabilised in flight by the spin imparted on it by the rifled barrel the grenade rotated at 3,700rpm, this in turn after 15 meters(?) of flight armed the grenade.

	Saab Bofors Dynamics CBJ MS personal defence weapon
		The 6.5 x 25 mm CBJ cartridge has the same overall dimensions as the 9 x 19 mm Parabellum cartridge and generates the same level of firing impulse.
		Advantages claimed for the 6.5 x 25 mm CBJ cartridge include a high impact velocity, a high hit probability due to the flat trajectory, high energy transfer to the target and low levels of barrel wear and corrosion.
		One combat accessory is a flashless and smokeless grenade launcher that clips onto a rail to be used with 6.5 or 9 mm ammunition.

	M-79 Grenade Launcher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Firing a large grenade from such a lightweight weapon presented some problems, but the ammunition design was such that the whole thing became very controllable and consistent.
		The grenades were stabilised in flight by fins and by spin imparted by grooves in the rifled barrel.
		As the grenade spiralled through the air, the rotation caused weights in the fuze mechanism to arm the grenade when it had flown 30-metres, after which the grenade would detonate on impact.

		The first shortwave Grenade type transmitter was built for the 20 meter band, where crystals were available for testing, and because it was suggested that a higher frequency band might be a better choice for portable operation.
		The case for this first Grenade was a used aluminium box that had been the former home of a FM amplifier.
		The Grenade originally came built with one x-tal (6955/6950) and a dipole antenna at just under 100 dollars U.S. It is a great little radio, roughly the size of a brick, and weigh in at well under half a kilo.

	Nagler Eyepiece Overview
		The 4.8 mm and the 7 mm are about the same size, but the 4.8 is about 15 mm shorter, and a little lighter.
		Still, the 16 mm is a whale of an eyepiece - comparing one to a conventional 15 mm Kellner or Plossl is a humbling experience (for the Kellner or Plossl, that is...) Strangely, the 16 mm is slightly smaller and lighter than the 12 mm.
		The 22 mm is also less susceptible to false color at the field stop than some of the other Naglers (the Type 1s sometimes have this problem.) There's a click-stop eyeguard like the ones on the Radians.

	RPG - Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher - Anti-Tank Infantry Weapon
		At the maximum range of 920 meters, RPGs self explodes (4.5 seconds from firing) and that's how the weapon is sometime used as a form of "artillery", spraying shrapnel over military installations, or slow, low flying or hovering helicopters.
		OG7V is a 2 kg, 40mm fragmentation warhead effective at a range of 350m with a kill radius of 150 m.
		The fuse of the HEAT grenade activates 2 to 15 meters after leaving the tube and self-destructs after a flight time of 4 to 6 seconds.

	Vortex Ring Gun
		The concept is to provide a two piece kit that retrofits to the gun and enables quick conversion between lethal and non- lethal modes of operation.
		The kit consists of a set of blank cartridges and a disposable rod which slides into the barrel and affixes to the muzzle.
		A second candidate platform for modification to non-lethal operations using vortex technology is the MK19-3 automatic 40-mm grenade launcher.

	A Troop 4th Squadron, 12th US Cavalry, 1st Brigade 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized)
		The first M79 Grenade launchers were delivered to the U.S. Army in 1961; soon there after the nickname "Thumper" or "Blooper" became common for this weapon.
		The 40mm HE grenades fired from the M79 traveled at a muzzle velocity of 75 meters per second, and contained enough explosive within an aluminum casing that upon impact with the target would produce over 399 fragments at 1,524 meters per second within a lethal radius of up to 5 meters.
		Stabilized in flight by the spin imparted on it by the rifled barrel the grenade rotated at 3,700 rpm, this in turn, after approximately 15 meters of flight, armed the grenade.

		The recoil-operated Type 56 appears mainly in the Air-Defence Battalion of the Motorised Infantry Regiment, and is often used as a powerful weapon for suppressing enemy infantries and light armoured vehicles.
		It can be expected that the Type 56 will be gradually replaced by the more capable 25 mm aitiaircraft artillery and shoulder-launch air defence missiles in the future.
		Even so, the Type 80 is still far too heavy for the use of PLA Infantry Battalions, which are only mounted on trucks for long distance traveling and have to reach the battle field by walk.

		A shoulder-fired, muzzle-loaded, grenade launcher, the RPG-7 fires a variety of grenades from a 40-mm launch tube.
		It’s light enough to be fired by one person, but an assistant usually stands to the left of the gunner for protection.
		The launcher first ejects the grenade out 10 meters, and then the grenade’s internal motor ignites and speeds it toward the target with fins that cause it to rotate slowly.

		But they dropped the 20 mm grenade because you needed a near hit with that (lethal radius was a half meter, or about 18 inches) and now there is concern that the 25 mm grenade is still not lethal enough.
		The first was afaik Samourai, a 76mm grenade launcher with about a 300 meter range.
		They upgraded to a 25 mm grenade, but now the buzz is that may be too small as well - we'll know soon enough, I guess, since they've had the new ATK XM25 for testing since at least May, IIRC.
