The Milkor MGL grenade launcher is manufactured in South Africa, the company Rippel Effect (formerly known as the Milkor Marketing), as well as Milkor USA. MGL stands for Multiple Grenade Launcher. This is a repeating firearm, designed to significantly increase the firepower of a small unit of soldiers compared with conventional grenade launcher at a glance, such as the M203. The MGL is designed to be simple, robust and reliable. Introduced in the military in 1983, MGL was gradually adopted by over 30 countries; he made the evidence of its effectiveness in challenging environments from jungles to deserts. The original MGL was conceived in 1981. Its production started in 1983 for the Defense Force of South Africa, under the designation Y2. It has a barrel six shots and accepts most grenades, 40 x 46 mm. The barrel is attached to a spring and automatically turns on each shot, but the spring must be re-compressed to each reloading. During reloading, the rear part of the gun must be rotated in the opposite direction of clockwise to access rooms. Each munition is inserted manually and one by one, because the barrel can not be removed. However, there are "speed loader" similar to those used on revolver. The MGL has a folding stock metal and a system of optical sight Trijicon Armson Occluded Eye Gunsight adjustable (with night vision lens and red dot sight), making it specific to a distance of 375 meters. The position of the front handle is adjustable for comfort. The weapon is also equipped with a safety lever positioned above the handle. Thumbnail Photo by Sgt.
