The M79 grenade launcher is a single-shot, shoulder-fired, break open grenade launcher which fires a 40 x 46 mm grenade and first appeared during the Vietnam War. Because of its distinctive firing sound, it earned the nicknames of “Thumper”, “Thump-Gun” or “Blooper” among American soldiers; Australian units referred to it as the “Wombat Gun”. The M79 can fire a wide variety of 40 mm rounds, including explosive, anti-personnel, smoke, buckshot, flechette, and illumination. While largely replaced by the M203, the M79 has remained in service in many units worldwide in niche roles.
I do immediately wonder how much kickback one of these would have.
Also, look at that eyelet for the strap. Seems like really bad placement.
Idk about these, but the M203 has very low recoil.
They’re basically the same, but I’ve never shot one with buckshot. I imagine that and the flechettes would have more kick.
