A barrel breech lock and mechanism for a projectile launcher chat uses a launcher body, a lower rail extending forward and under the launcher's barrel breech and a pivotally mounted latch plate. Extending downward extending from the latch plate is a front handgrip. Disposed between the lower rail and the latch plate and directly above the front handgrip is a locking mechanism that selectively blocks rotation of the proximal end of the latch plate. In two embodiments, the locking mechanism is a biased lateral push button or a biased sliding button. When the lock mechanism is activated, the proximal end of the latch plate may be rotated downward by a twisting force applied via the from handgrip. Disposed between the proximal end of the latch plate and the barrel breech is a second lock mechanism that includes a pin. The end of the pin engages a stop surface formed on the barrel breech when axially aligned in the breech void area. The first lock mechanism can be easily activated with the hand holding the from handgrip. Because the first and second lock mechanisms must be sequentially activated in order to open the barrel breech, the operation of the projective launcher is safer.

Disclosed is a grenade launcher that can be loaded and unloaded from both sides, prevents sag during these loading/unloading, fully covers the ammunition so that shooters are safe while shooting and avoids potential drop of ammunition when loading.

A grenade launcher system comprises a grenade launcher receiver and a grenade launcher barrel attached to the grenade launcher receiver. A trigger assembly is attached to the grenade launcher receiver at a position adjacent the grenade launcher barrel. The grenade launcher receiver has an elongate channel disposed on an upper surface of the grenade launcher receiver, the elongate channel extending parallel to the grenade launcher barrel and configured to slidably and removably receive a mounting rail. In certain embodiments, the grenade launcher system is configured to operate in an underslung configuration relative to a firearm. In certain embodiments, the grenade launcher system is configured to operate in a standalone configuration without a firearm.

A handguard adapter assembly operable to couple a high recoil accessory to a firearm. The handguard adapter assembly comprises a mounting system operable to be coupled to the firearm. The mounting system can be configured to be disposed around a substantially tubular member and can comprise a lower clamp and an upper clamp operably engaged with the lower clamp. The handguard adapter assembly can also comprise a lower handguard operably coupled to the lower clamp and an upper handguard operably coupled to the lower handguard.

In order to obtain an explosive smoke grenade, which can be fired from a portable anti-tank weapon, in particular a recoilless infantry weapon, and permits an enemy position or a vehicle to be fogged as quickly as possible, so that the enemy has only a very limited radius of action, a explosive smoke grenade is provided with a time fuse that can be programmed such that the burst charge detonates in the direct vicinity of the enemy position but before the grenade has reached the ground, and releases the smoke-generating active material. In addition, the pyrotechnic active substance arranged between the burst charge and the grenade casing is formed of a plurality of film strips, which are coated with a red-phosphorus-containing incendiary composition (flares). For this purpose, the dimensions of the flares are selected such that they generate a visibility barrier in both the visible and the infrared wavelength regions.
