Dual-role 40 mm
launcher architecture

A single-shot 40 mm launcher designed for two configurations: operated
independently with its telescopic stock or mounted beneath a compatible host
platform. The design combines dual-side loading, ambidextrous safety controls
and an adjustable mechanical sight system for
40×46 mm low-velocity ammunition.

Ambidextrous dual-role construction

The platform combines dual-side loading, a double-action trigger, a steel barrel and two operating configurations in a compact launcher assembly.

01

Single-shot mechanism

The manufacturer specifies a single-shot firing mode with a double-action trigger and a dual-side loading arrangement.

02

Dual-role configuration

The system can be mounted beneath a compatible host platform or configured independently with its telescopic stock.

03

Ambidextrous controls

The safety latch, loading access and mechanical sight arrangement are designed for right- or left-side use.

04

Chrome-lined steel barrel

The 254 mm SAE4140 steel barrel has six grooves, a right-hand 1:48-inch twist and a hard-chrome lining.

Compact form, configurable interface

In stand-alone form, the platform measures 610 mm with the telescopic stock closed and 685 mm with the stock open. In its attached configuration, overall length is reduced to 337 mm.

The manufacturer specifies an empty weight of 2,700 g in stand-alone form and 1,700 g in attached form. Top and side Picatinny rails complement a mechanical sight system adjustable from 100 to 400 metres.
