www.fragoutmag.com 40x46SR under barrel grenade launcher is a non-automatic, single fire individual weapon designated to fight and disable enemy personnel, destroy technical equipment, buildings, weapon placements, light armored vehicles, setting smoke screens and area illumination. Launcher is mounted under barrel of the 5,56 mm MSBS assault rifle by integral mount. Grenade launcher is designed for both right and left hand- ed shooters by symmetrical ambidextrous placement of the manipulators, safety lever, and barrel locking button. Barrel opens to the side thanks to mechanism that closes the barrel, pressing barrel opening button, it lowers the catch and it's ledge comes up from the bolt base cut of the barrel, and the barrel itself is opened by the force of the spring. To close the barrel, it has to be vigorously pushed to the buffer, than the latch will catch itself by the ledge. Barrel is opening only to the left side; there is no possibility to change that. In the entry side of the barrel there were placed two notches (in case of emergency) which gave us possibility to take out empty case when it does not come out by the force of gravity. Weapon has the striking mechanism with the firing pin system and Double Action Only (DAO) trigger system. Unintentional discharge is protected by settable safety lever. On the posi- tion „weapon safe" the trigger system is blocked, after being pushed, wing of the safety lever rotates 90 o (the red warning tag is visible) and the weapon is ready to squeeze the trigger.
