    Technical Specifications GL-06

    1. General description
    The GL-06 grenade launcher is intended to serve as a supplemental or squad weapon with less lethal munitions for all types of crowd management and law enforcement tasks. The GL-06 is designed as a single shot break down weapon. Due to its design and strength of materials, the launcher works with all kind of 40 x 46 mm ammunitions. The trigger is of double-action-only style with non-exposed hammer for safe and simple operation. There are different stock configurations, integrated NATO accessory rails and the possibility to install more rails and accessories to optimize the launcher specifically to each mission. The ergonomics are state of the art: red dot sight for fast and accurate target acquisition, left and right side sling attachment points, large ambidextrous operating elements and a wide trigger guard for easy operation even with heavy protective gloves.

    3. Operating principle
    When the weapon is closed, the locking lug under the barrel is held in position by the two locking latches and the barrel is locked (ref. fig. 3.1). When pushing the breech lever forward, a rising wedge is spreading the two latches like a couple of shears, releasing the locking lug and thus unlocking the barrel (fig. 3.1). By the force of the barrel spring, the barrel snaps open and can be loaded manually.

    Fig. 3.1

    When the launcher is loaded, the operator can release the shot simply by pulling the double action only trigger (fig. 3.2). The firing pin (part of the hammer) touches the primer of the cartridge only when the trigger releases the covert hammer, then it snaps immediately back in a safe position.

    Technical Specifications GL-06


    In order to increase the operational safety of the launcher, a manual push-through safety is available which locks the hammer with the firing pin in safe distance of the primer. Some comments about the operating principle of 40 x 46 mm grenades: Unlike conventional small arms cartridges, the case shows two chambers (see fig. 3.3). When the firing pin strikes on the primer, it ignites the propellant which is in the inner high pressure chamber. The combustion gases are then released by diffusors into the outer low pressure chamber. It is the force of the gases in the low pressure chamber which drive the projectile, which is set on top of this named chamber, through the barrel.

    low pressure chamber

    high pressure chamber

    Fig. 3.3: Cut through fired 40 x 46 mm grenade Concerning internal ballistics, recoil, mechanical stress on the weapon and quality control of the grenades, it is always the maximum pressure in the outer low pressure chamber to consider. 40 x 46 mm ammunitions exist in two distinctive qualities: One is warhead (HE) grenades with a payload of around 200 grams - typically an explosive projectile - and working with low chamber pressures of approx. 200 bar. The other is less lethal (LL) munitions with low mass kinetic energy projectiles or a chemical agent as payload; their working pressure is around four times lower than with HE grenades. The GL-06 is designed for use with LL munitions but strong enough to withstand the pressure of a HE grenade.

    4. Compatible ammunitions
    Compatibility is limited by dimensions and maximum pressures. The critical dimensions are outlined in fig. 4.1. Note that the cartridge overall length is of no importance: 40 x 46 mm munitions of any length can be loaded in the GL-06.

    Fig. 4.1: Compatible dimensions

    Regarding the pressure compatibility, the maximum pressure in the low pressure chamber at extreme service conditions (ESCP) is to consider. ESC is the most dangerous conform condition of ammunition (according to ammo manufacturer specs), e.g. after 24 h high temperature storage. In an inspection lot of ten cartridges, the average (m) and the standard deviation (s) of ESCP must comply with mESCP + 2.91 sESCP 230 bar
