H&K GMG (A 40mm grenade machine gun produced by Heckler & Koch. Though it resembles the U.S MK19, the GMG is only fielded by U.S Special Forces, whereas the MK19 is fielded by nearly every other branch.)

Russian civilian & soldier… (This was taken during a training program for civilians to familiarize with military weapons. Note that the AGS-17 isn’t loaded with it’s drum. The guy in the background who’s out of focus is using an NSV heavy machine gun. How can you tell? The scope is a dead giveaway. That is the SPP 10P50 machine gun scope, shape is easy to recognize. I almost bought one a couple years ago with the stupid idea of putting onto my PSL. Anyway, the soldier seems to be happy training with a cute Russian blonde.)

Chinese QLZ-87 AGL (An automatic grenade launcher designed by the Chinese when they felt the Russian AGS-17 was not suitable for their military. Interestingly they also developed a 35mm grenade unique to the launcher. The one on the large tripod has the 15 round drum and is meant for stationary fire. The one with the bipod has the 6 round drum and is meant for portable infantry firepower.)

Russian AGS-17 Automatic Grenade Launcher (These are 30mm launchers as opposed to the more common 40mm. I thought none existed in the U.S but assuming they haven’t sold yet, I found one company here that is selling two unissued examples. They’re only meant for government sales so don’t expect to see it in civilian hands. Asking price is $23,530.00. The company can order and import the special 30mm rounds either in High Explosive or High Explosive Incendiary.)

omgitssimon: That’s not a Thumper… it’s an M32…
In regards to my post “Thumper”
I’m all for educating and correcting mistakes I make and post but you sir are wrong. I know that is not a Thumper. The description/info refers to the M79 being called the Thumper and my curiosity in regards to whether the OFB 40mm makes the same noise.
First off, the grenade launcher pictured is not an M32. This is an M32.

The one in the picture is this. The OFB 40mm Multi-Grenade Launcher
It’s clear to see the differences. The M32 is the U.S Military designation code for what is essentially the South African Milkor MGL-140.
The Indian Military produces a copy of the South African Milkor MGL Mk.1 and designates its the OFB 40mm.
So there we have. A quick crash course in Grenade Launcher 101. Oh and the grenade launcher in the gif below is an M203.

Heavily armed… (Indian Counter Terrorist member with an AKM and OFB 40mm Grenade Launcher. The AK is more than likely a Romanian or East German due to the folding stock.)

Indian Counter Terrorist member with the OFB 40mm (A domestic design produced in India by the Ordnance Factory Board, it looks a lot like the South African Milkor Grenade Launcher. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a licensed copy.)

Penn Arms TL-8 (This is not a firearm. It’s actually a 37mm Flare Launcher. Perfectly legal to own by anyone, unless your crazy state for some reason has a ban on flare launchers. Note that it looks a lot like the Street Sweeper Shotgun. Currently Penn Arms is the main manufacturer of the Street Sweeper / Striker shotgun. I kind of wanted to buy one of these to launch flares into the sky on July 4th or New Years. Not cheap though; usually costs around $2,800 to $3,500.)

H&K GMG (Grenade Machine Gun…when you absolutely have to know it’s made by H&K, they make a barrel cover. Love them or hate them, H&K makes some bad-ass weapons.)
