Infantry platoons bristle with direct-fire weapons, but everyone loves a grenade. Grenades give ground troops the ability to send a big boom of fire and shrapnel over a wall or hedgerow, inside a window, or wherever else you can wing one. Enter the ubiquitous grenade launcher.

The earliest serious incarnations were rifle grenades, which were exactly what they sounded like: special charges meant to be mounted on the business end of your rifle barrel and shot off, at five times the range of their handheld counterparts. A rifle grenade could be fired in a plunging arc overhead, and unlike other indirect fire weapons like mortars or artillery, they could go wherever a rifleman went — anywhere — as this edition of Popular Mechanics notes. Say what you will about the munition, the name is pretty accurate…Popular Mechanics screenshot via Google Books. Grenade LaunchersGordon L. The program was called Project Niblick — named after a 9-iron golf clubto highlight the similar arcing trajectories of a golf ball and a grenade in flight, according to Rottman. ByProject Niblick had its ace in the hole: the 40mm grenade. The idea was a weapon that could lob a high explosive munition up to meters — though the effective range for most launchers comes in at around meters, or less — and with no more recoil than a gauge shotgun. The break-action shotgun-style launcher was officially approved by the military in and immediately began making its way into the hands of U. But it only fires one round at a time. The military had also tested out the T, a semi-automatic grenade launcher that could lob three rounds in the air before the first hit the ground.

The China Lake was a one-trick pony, though: It was prone to jamming when any 40mm rounds other than high-explosive were used. In Maythe U.

For the first time since the rifle grenades of World War II, infantry squads and fire teams had the firepower of a grenade launcher without sacrificing a rifleman — or burdening a grenadier with a heavy weapon and ammunition. For 48 years the M gave infantrymen downrange that added umpf they needed when things hit the fan. Army photo. For the next half-century, the M performed its role admirably: taking out groups of enemies, providing a heavy base of fire for advancing or retreating troops, and depending on the grenade used — marking critical targets or locations. But in the last decade, the M has given way to the M Both the M and the M can lob 5 to 7 rounds per minute and are effective against area targets up to meters away. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Taylor W. The need arose during the Second Battle of Fallujah inwhen Marines on the ground concluded that they needed a way to sling boatloads of HE into congested and enemy-occupied buildings, quickly, according to Rottman.
