3GL

... 3 SHOT SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODULAR GRENADE LAUNCHER

The Metal Storm 3GL is a lightweight, semi-automatic 3 shot 40mm grenade launcher designed for military and Special Forces operators. 3GL can be used as a lightweight, compact stand-alone weapon or can be under-slung onto an assault rifle. At just a fraction of the weight, length and profile of any other 40mm semi-automatic grenade launcher, the 3GL is particularly suited to: • Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) • Special Forces Operations where compact, high firepower capability is needed • Patrols in hostile, high environments where immediate, high volume grenade firepower is needed • Wherever conventional M203/M320 or multi-shot grenade launchers are currently deployed 3GL uses Metal Storm’s unique stacked round system to eliminate the bulky mechanical action of conventional multi-shot grenade launchers. Operators simply load three 40mm grenades, one behind the other into the breech. Once fired the 3GL is completely empty. As there are no cartridge cases to eject, reload is fast and simple. 3GL munitions employ the same 40mm grenade warheads as conventional grenade launchers, but with up to three rounds on target instead of one the effect is both overwhelming and accurate. 3GL is light enough for military and Special Forces operators to take advantage of semi-automatic grenade firepower while still carrying a primary assault rifle. When firepower domination is critical, 3GL can provide immediate, targeted suppression of an enemy without reducing the number of assault rifles in the squad.
