Milkor M32 and M32A1 40mm Grenade Launchers

Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.bbtv.com/collections/forg...
The USMC adopted the Milkor USA M32A1 rotary multiple grenade launcher (MGL) in 2012. The history of this weapon goes back to South Africa, where designer Andries Piek was inspired to create it after building the 37mm "Stopper" for the South African police and then seeing a Manville 25mm gas launcher in the movie "Dogs of War". He created a 6-barrel 40mm launcher that was adopted by the South African military, and proved quite popular. It was adopted by other countries subsequently, and by the early 2000s a company bought rights to produce it in the United States - Milkor USA.
The original M32 version was used in small numbers by US SOCOM, and the updated M32A1 widely purchased by the US Marines. The A1 version has a shorter barrel and is generally strengthen, allowing it to fire medium-velocity grenades instead of just the low velocity loadings. This increased its effective range from 375m to 800m as well as allowing larger grenade payloads and increased effectiveness on target.

    Carried the 32 in Helmand province for about 5 months straight in 2009-10 with standard 400 meter rounds. What I noticed: CONS: -Carries like a front heavy bag of bricks. -Doesn't lend itself well to reloading to the prone. -A little too heavy and bulky to sling as a secondary weapon, meaning once you dump your initial 6 rounds, you need your team to cover you while you take time to twist it, plunge the spent shells, wind the cylinder, load three hand-fulls of two rounds if you get the technique down, lock it, find your target, and fire. PRO: -Good for known-range ambush or static use situations. -Good for gaining fire superiority after taking contact (If within range). -Sight is bright enough to superimpose the retical onto your non-aiming eye's view. Shooting with both eyes open is something you kind of have to do at long ranges due to the sight pointing at the barrel at full tilt. Overall I wished they would have kept on with something like the china lake style pump-action grenade launcher for the slim form factor, 3 + 1 capacity, and sling-ability as a weapon you can fire quickly to get the enemies head's down, before switching to your rifle or other primary weapon. At night, my squad leader had me put a flair as the first tube. It's a great support weapon. Much love to you IAN!

    As an old M79 user: - That scope looks neat and a lot less prone to damage than the huge flip-up sight; - No way for the trigger to stab me in the kidneys (because the trigger guard has folded itself out of the way). That's nice; - Yeah the 6 rounds seems cool to have; - Two stage stock for high angle shooting. :O Forget sliced bread, THIS is the finest invention in centuries! I cannot adequately type how much of an improvement this is. I'd have paid good money to have had a function like it.

    The sight we used in SVN for the 203 was an old hacksaw blade that we fixed to our rifle to be able to flip it up when we wanted to shoot the 203, then calibrated on the range and got some luminous paint posted from home so we could use them in the night. One of our troopers had the experience of meeting an NVA scout, shooting him with the 203 at too short a range and the NVA rolled into the bush with the grenade in his belly but not armed because it hadn’t spun enough to arm the fuse, he bled out and was found the next day when the area was being checked out, no one would move him because of the UXB in his belly.

    Makers of revolvers might consider experimentation with spring wound wheelguns . Load six rounds , spin the cylinder "Hollywood style" , fire the gun in double action with the benefit of a ligh single action trigger pull weight . This concept might not be practical in self defense or combat wheelguns , but there might be a use for it in the competition shooting community . Just a thought.

    Does anyone know what changes, if any, they made to the A1 rifling to allow it to still function with a shorter barrel? I can't remember if Ian covered it. Did they just squash/accelerate the gain rate in the progressive rifling, change the rifling to a constant twist rate, or does the switch to the medium velocity rounds mean they could just chop the barrel down? I was curious as it was said the rounds needed so many rotations to arm and I was wondering how they got around that and if the change to medium velocity rounds had any impact on it.

One afternoon of beer and illegal substances later we are in a field with the grenade launcher and I didn't fully seat the tube and the whole damn thing blew up on me." 6 Years later this video has taught me a second lesson about that story, if he had had one of these bad boys that man would still have 2 hands.
