Technical characteristics:
- grenade launcher length, mm - 380;
- caliber, mm - 40x46;
- grenade launcher weight, kg - 1.6;
- sighting range (in 50 m increments), m - 400;

The GP-46 can work in different ways. The first method of application is attached to any Kalashnikov assault rifle that has special mounts, without interfering with firing from it. The second method is together with a module - a detachable buttstock, which allows the GP-46 to be used as a separate weapon.
