The GP-46 under-barrel grenade launcher is designed to defeat enemy manpower in the field, in trenches, and in unarmored vehicles by means of direct or indirect fire.
The grenade launcher can be used for direct fire, against point and area targets, firing "from the shoulder" or from cover. Reloading occurs when the barrel of the GP-46 is turned to the left or right.
Technical characteristics:
- grenade launcher length, mm - 380;
- caliber, mm - 40x46;
- grenade launcher weight, kg - 1.6;
- sighting range (in 50 m increments), m - 400;
- rate of fire, rounds/min - 5-6.
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.
