Description

The 40 MM Granatnik-Karabin 62 (40mm grenade launcher-carbine '62) is a Sediczjan grenade launcher based on the k11/23 carbine currently in service with "light" infantry units, such as airborne and naval infantry, and in the riot configuration with police forces. Intended to make use of surplus k11/23 carbines after the adoption of semi-automatic rifles, it fires a 40mm grenade out to 200 meters using a blank 7.92mm cartridge to ignite the propellant in the base of the grenade.

Currently produced ammunition types are Trh-63-40 high-explosive rounds and Dim-66-40 smoke rounds, with rubber batons and tear gas cartridges available for riot control use. The amount of gas reaching the projectile can be regulated using the wheel behind the rear sight. Grenades are issued in 3-round bandoliers, with each grenadier typically carrying nine grenades in three bandoliers plus three loose smoke grenades.
