A rifle grenade is a form of grenade that utilizes a rifle as a launch mechanism to increase the effective range of the grenade.
Rifle grenades may be time-fused, so that they detonate at a fixed time after firing, or impact-fused, so they detonate upon impact.
Rifle grenade launchers are not subject to the National Firearms Act, although stand-alone grenade launchers may be, and rifle grenade launchers may be regulated by local law.

 Rifle-mounted grenade launchers
A special grenade cartridge, always hand-loaded, was the propellant for the grenade mounted on a rifle grenade launcher.
There were two basic categories of rifle grenades: hand grenades, projected from the launcher by means of an adapter, and grenades specially designed as rifle grenades.
Because of the heavy recoil generated by the grenade cartridge, the rifle (or carbine) was fired by firmly planting the butt on the ground, turned sideways to avoid damaging the stock.

 Modern Firearms - Grenade launchers - Rifle, Underbarrel, Antitank - Introduction
In either case, an attempt to fire the grenade with a standard round of riffle ammunition was disastrous to both weapon and the shooter.
Most antitank grenade launchers are separate shoulder-fired recoilless weapons, which typically consist of a smoothbore barrel, opened at both ends, a firing module with trigger, safety and ignition unit, and some sort of sights.
The RCL grenades are launched using a propellant charge, which is placed inside the barrel behind the grenade; as the barrel is open at both ends, some (actually most) of the propellant gases are ejected to the rear, effectively countering the recoil.

 The Djakonov Rifle Grenade System for Phoenix Command
The Red Army was one of the pioneers of the rifle grenade.
Before commencing shooting you were to place the rifle and the grenade on its barrel on a firm surface on the bipod and aim at the enemy (we could have figured that part out by ourselves) and then shoot with a regular cartridge.
Tactically, like the DP machine gun and the AVS-36 and SVT-38 automatic rifles, the rifle grenade was yet another weapon designed to provide Red Army platoons with firepower far superior to anything their prospective opponents had in the late Thirties.
