CIS40 GL
-
Hi folks, recently I visited military photo net forum and under the photo section, I was surprised that our new Grenade launcher has made it's way into at 2 European armies inventories. It is the Czech republic and the Cyprus, Chilean marines. I feel that are land system gears and weapons have matured and has seen some penetration into the European market. ST can poise itself as an arm producer that enables those ex- warsaw pact nations joining the NATO to choose a wide variety of ammunitions and weapons at a cheaper price.
But this launcer seems to have a different mechanism from our M203 and it seems to be a little heavier than the M203. Any one have ideas how it works?
