	Mk 19 grenade launcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mk 19 is a man-portable crew-served weapon that can fire from a tripod mounted position or from a vehicle mount (this being the preferred method as the weapon alone weighs 33 kg).
		The primary ammunition for Mk 19 is the high explosive dual-purpose M430 grenade.
		The Mk 19 is made by General Dynamics and Saco Defense Industries.

	Modern Firearms - Mk.19 automatic grenade launcher / grenade machine gun
		Development of the Mark 19 (Mk.19 in short) grenade machine gun was initiated by US Navy in 1966, after the initial experience gained during Vietnam war.
		Among these, most notable was the Mark 18 belt-fed grenade launcher, developed by Hughes corporation; this was a hand-cranked weapon that provided significant short-range firepower to riverine crafts and marine infantry.
		Development of Mark 19 automatic grenade launcher began in July 1966, and by October 1967 firs three working prototypes of the new weapon were ready for official field trials.

	A Brief History of the Burlham Safety Post
		The Mk 19 Grenade Launcher is an automatic weapon that rapidly fires 16 ounce high explosive rounds which detonate on impact.
		The action of the Mk 19 is spring-based vs. reciprocating, so when early versions of the gun were transported on rough terrain with the weapon pointed into the sky, it occasionally discharged into the air, sometimes with fatal results.
		The barrel of the Mk 19 was designed short so that the round would exit the weapon at the maximum velocity.

	MK19 40mm Machine Gun, MOD 3
		Although the MK 19 is a recent entry into the Army guns inventory, development began in 1963.
		The first version was a hand-cranked multiple grenade launcher called the MK 18.
		The Army uses the MK 19 within the tactical environment for defense, retrograde, patrolling, rear area security, MOUT, and special operations.

	25mm Musings
		The OCSW was originally intended to replace both the.50 HMG and the 40mm HV Mk-19 Grenade launcher.
		The grenade round would use a case that externally matches the dimensions of the.50 BHMG round but mounting the same grenade as has been developed for the OCSW.
		The answer is that the Payload rifle projectiles would be too long, but this did suggest to me that a 25-28mm weapon with canister and explosive rounds would prove to be a very useful CQB and MOUT weapon, and would nicely complement the Recoilless Grenade Launchers that I've proposed.

	Modern Firearms - Milkor MGL Mk.1 40mm grenade launcher
		The Milkor MGL six-shot 40mm grenade launcher is the world's first mass-produced multi-shot 40mm hand-held weapon.
		The most recent modifications of the Mk.1 launcher, which are manufactured and offered in USA under license by the Milkor Marketing Inc., are the Milkor Mk.1S and Milkor MK-140.
		These two launchers differ from original Mk.1 by having stronger, stainless steel frame (as opposed to the original aluminium frame), as well as by having four Picatinny-type accessory rails around the barrel.

	gizmag Article: Assault Humvee may change future battlefield
		All three of the weapon systems are connected to a central Improved Target Acquisition System (ITAS) that gives the gunner the option of firing each weapon with the flick of a switch and automatically gauges the range of the target by using an eye-safe laser range finder.
		When the gunner flips a switch on the control panel and charges the weapon of choice, the display will change for the particular weapon and will show the sights for that weapon.
		In older systems, the gunner would have to "walk in" the grenades when firing the MK-19, which means it would take several shots to hit the target.

		The ASV-150 turret is equipped with an improved 40mm MK 19 grenade launcher and 12.7mm machine gun and can be traversed 360 degrees and the weapons elevated between -10 to +60 degrees.
		The ASV employs, as organic weapons, the MK-19 grenade machine-gun (MK-19 GMG) (turret mounted); M2.50 caliber machine-gun (turret mounted); and the M249 5.56mm Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW).
		The 984th was the first MP company on Fort Carson to get the new ASVs, each armed with an MK-19 grenade launcher, a.50-caliber machine gun and a squad automatic weapon.

	HKPRO: The 40mm GMG
		(Granat Maschinengewehr) This high impulse 40mm grenade launcher is a direct competitor to the Mark 19, currently in service with the U.S. military.
		It is distinguishable in that HK made a belt that would allow the firer to load belts of grenades from either the right or left side of the gun, making the system totally ambidextrous.
		The gun is prominently featured in HK's newest promotional video called "The HK Weapon System." It was torture tested in 1997 in the Yuma, Arizona desert as part of trials necessary to compete for future U.S. military contracts.

		I've already suggested that a modern version of the Ontos based on the Wiesel would be a useful system for Special Forces, so having a APC based on the same body would also simplify maintenance.
		As well as 106mm recoilless rifles a STOAT could also mount FFARs, Javelin and Stinger missiles, and would probably be armed with a.50 HMG or Mk-19 Automatic Grenade Launcher.
		Equipment should also include a revolver Grenade launcher and a 60mm commando mortar.

		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.

	Defense Tech: ONE BAD HUMMER
		Traditionally, Humvees come armed with a single weapon -- a big machine gun, say, or a grenade launcher.
		But a new Hummer, developed by the Army's Training and Doctrine Command, "may put the firepower of an entire heavy-weapons platoon into one vehicle," according to an Army news release.
		Plans for the tactical version include a smaller, collapsible turret, removable composite armor plating, undercarriage protection from mines, a smaller targeting screen, and the gunner’s seat may be moved to the rear of the vehicle to allow for another team member and lower the distractions for both the gunner and the commander.

		All three of the weapon systems are connected to a central Improved Target Acquisition System that gives the gunner the option of firing each weapon with the flick of a switch and automatically gauges the range of the target by using an eye-safe laser range finder.
		One of the things the U.S. has not had in quite some time is a true, purpose built, armored car: wheel based for high road speed and endurance, armored to withstand small arms and RPGs, and armed with a multiple weapon turret (7.62mm/20mm or.50cal/40mm automatic grenade launcher).
		Such a vehicle would be able to provide direct fire support in a low intensity situation, as well as provide reliable convoy security.
