40mm Grenade Launchers


Recommended Posts

and I still love the MK19 although every time I disassembled one they drew blood  , For the m430 grenades they have  arming distance of 18-40 meters (caused by  rotation of grenade when fired) We rolled some on the floor so they would activate in a shorter distance , not recommended :)

I liked the M79 Grenade Launcher when I was in the Navy. I had a knack for that thing. I haven’t fired any of the others.

I got to fire a 25 round belt of training rounds through the MK-19 for familiarization purposes during MP School, that was fun.

 

It was always a bad sign when the drill sergeants mostly stopped yelling and were almost polite.  They were that way for live grenade training.  The sandbagged pit,  pockmarked wall and flak vests.  I did not enjoy grenade training

Used to work with a guy that was a MK-19 gunner. His was mounted on top of a Humvee. Said it was an interesting ride when firing to the side at speed.
