摘要

The grenade launcher is mounted on an armoured vehicle and includes a rifle (10). There is a grenade sleeve (14) at the front of the rifle and they can be displaced. The launcher is mounted on an access flap of the turret (26). The fixing to the flap is by a cardan system (34, 36) which allows it to swivel in two planes. The rifle barrel end can be fixed to the grenade sleeve by a bayonet attachment. The guide consists of slideways on the sleeve, the rifle being supported by rollers. A weatherproof cover is provided outside the cardan assembly.
