HAND HELD GRENADE LAUNCHER

摘要

An adapter (14) for use with a rifle mountable grenade launcher unit (12) to form a stand alone hand held grenade launcher. The adapter (14) includes a rod (22, 24) to be inserted into a rifle barrel receiving hole (58) of grenade launcher unit and a recoil surface (52) that can be located, at least partially, behind the barrel bore of the grenade launcher unit (12). The recoil surface intersects the center axis of the grenade launcher unit barrel bore such that recoil after firing can be absorbed in line with the barrel bore to thereby minimize muzzle climb.
