Enhanced Grenade Launching Module

Developed from HK's famous line of single shot 40mm launchers, the lightweight AG-C add-on grenade launcher uses a fast and easy side-loading breech configuration. This feature, and the quick detachable design of the AG-C launcher provides superior combat capability over existing M203 grenade launchers.

The AG-C has been operationally deployed with British Special Operations forces for the past two years with excellent feedback received.

The AG-C can be installed in seconds on the lower "six o'clock" MIL-STD-1913 rail of the M4A1 modular rail system using no special tools. A unique optional glass block reflex sight provides a single aiming point reticle that is illuminated with tritium for use at night.

A model of the AG-C equipped with an add-on buttstock is available for stand-alone use. A ranging fire control system for precise first round engagements at all ranges is also being developed. A version for use on the U.S. M16A2 rifle, termed the "AG-NL", is presently serving with the Dutch Army, and is also currently available.

The AG-C can fire all standard low velocity 40 x 46 mm ammunition, including HE, AP, anit-riot baton, irritant gas and illuminating rounds. Its rifled aluminum barrel ensures a high degree of accuracy out to ranges of 400 meters. An ambidextrous safety lever and double action only trigger ensure easy and safe handling.
