摘要

Conventional grenade launchers, loaded from muzzle have short barrel, shortrange andbig recoil forces transmitted into frame.Claimed grenade launcher has longer barrel and part of recoil forces are selfcompensated.Invention gives possibility to use in grenade launchers more powerful and long-rangegrenades without increasing of recoil forces.Technical result is achieved by shot executing in manner "fire-out-of-battery"and usingspecial cartridgeless grenade.For this, grenade launcher has composite barrel, one part of it can fulfillreciprocatingmovement both under action of gases of carrier and gases of grenade'spropellant andgrenade is loaded into moveable part only by rear part having rifling.Grenada charged into moveable part of barrel risen by hand lever into chargingposition.For shot execution moveable part of barrel is returned in back position.Shots' gases bypassed from carrier initiate both igniting of grenade'spropellant andexecuting moving forward of moveable part.
