grenade launcher GP-25 grenade
It is part of the AK-74.Attached to the main axis has its own trigger.Designed in 1978 for AK and AH.Later he received a license for the production of Bulgaria.GP-25 - Russian grenade launchers with self-cocking trigger.This ensures the safety of the transport of weapons in the active state.The grenade flies mounted on the rotational path, which is regulated by the device handle.
Charged with muzzle, fixing a special spring-loaded system that is attached to the fuse.It is worth noting the absence of the sleeve.At the moment of impact is made up to 6 strokes.To reduce recoil butt attached to the rubberized shock.These grenade launchers Russia (see photo. Below) can be used while standing or sitting in the trenches and on the technique, static and dvizhenii.Kalibr - 40 mm.The net weight is 1.5 kg.When fired, the projectile flies 400 meters to the target in just 5 seconds.
grenade launcher GP-34 grenade
is in addition to the AK-103.These modern Russian grenade launchers entered service in 2009 alone.Developments were based on the previous model series GP-25.
main objective of modernizing the grenade launcher was an increase in the reliability of the trigger mechanism, ensuring the safety during operations and improving manufacturability of its wide production.The first improvement was subjected to shock the system.The trigger mechanism has been completely redone and plummet - and completely removed.Staff sight as a result of modernization moved to the right side.Most of the ballistic characteristics were neizmennymi.U GP-34 40-millimeter caliber.The weight of the device is 1.4 kg.Speed shot ranges 75 m / s, so the maximum distance of 400 meters of the projectile flies in 5.5 seconds.
Hand Grenade "Knuckles»
is a standalone portable weapon impactor.Designed for the partial destruction equipment and structures by means of special provisions.Such Russian grenade launchers can fire projectiles as a shock, and tactical (tear gas, lighting, signaling).As supplies are most often used fragmentation VOG-25 and upgraded versions.Hand grenade launchers Russia "knuckles" are ideal for outboard attack of enemy trenches, trenches and buildings.

antitank grenade launcher RPG-7 hand-
Widespread use of the RPG-7 received during the Second World War.At the moment, these grenade launchers Russia modernized, but most of them are written off.Creating a trouble-free start-up device and the cumulative projectile allowed to develop a brand new anti-tank weapons, different ease and convenience.In the mid-1940s, the RPG-7 was the last line of defense infantry.
hammer mechanism laid down in a prototype jet trigger design.Its essence lies in the fact that after the departure of the barrel at a distance of 20 meters at the charge was included boosters, increasing the speed of grenades and firing range.
weapon was standard sorokamillimetrovy caliber.The weight was 6.3 kg, and the length of a bit did not reach up to 1 meter.Shell weight ranges from 2 to 4.5 kg.The flight speed is 145 m / s.The maximum distance to the target - 700 m.
antitank grenade launcher RPG-32 hand-
in international codification weapon known as "Hashim."These anti-tank grenade launchers Russia are considered to be multi-purpose.The initial development of weapons took place under the leadership of the armed forces of Jordan.Later, the creation of a full-fledged version of the Russian engineers are engaged on joint programme.Odnoy of the distinguishing features RPG-32 is a reusable launch mechanism.Also, during the development, it was decided to reduce the weight of the grenade to 3 kg.The length compared with previous models also declined - 70 cm instead of 91-95 cm.
Weapons supports two types of caliber 72 and 105 mm.It all depends on the type of grenade: will it thermobaric or cumulative.Projectile RPG-32 is able to penetrate 650-mm armor at a distance of 700 meters. At the same time hitting targets can be static and dynamic.
grenade kit surprises and ergonomic performance.Due to these features provides fast and accurate guidance from any position.Recharging requires up to 7 seconds.In the expanded configuration has a night vision sight.The flight speed of the projectile - 140 m / s.
Grenade attack jet RShG 2
also known as Project "Basalt".In service since 2003.These grenade launchers Russia are singly charged.There are three types of ammunition: shrapnel, and explosive zazhigatelnye.Reaktivnoe weapons designed to defeat unarmored or legkozaschischennoy art infantry and fire weapons.Suitable for combat in the trenches and indoors.
aimed fire is provided at a distance up to 350 meters.Such impressive results achieved through the thermobaric hammer mechanism.Caliber - 72.5 mm.Net mass of weapons is only 3.8 kg with a length of 0.77 m. The speed of the smooth flight - 144 m / s.
multipurpose rocket grenade launcher (RMG)
In combat many models of the "Basalt" is not distinguished dependability and convenience.Therefore, in the mid-2000s, the Ministry of Defence, it was decided to upgrade the existing Russian rocket-propelled grenades to mnogotselevyh.V RMG new warhead is divided into two percussion parts.Now the shell is able to not only penetrate thick armor, but at the same time providing an incendiary and explosive action by forming a cloud of explosives.Thus, grenade attacks for both technology and jobs, bunkers, infantry and low-flying aircraft.
