Re: China Police Expo 2014 (20-23 May) & China's Export Small Arms thr
so far .the newest member of LG serial Grenade Laucher is the LG-5 40mm Sniper GL
it's quite new to us all. so a little info was released on the published material. since such model was called "sniper" system. the "long range" and "accuracy" should be the key feature... we guess this GL might fire the 40×53 mm Hight Pressure Grenade which was fired by the heavy Automatic GLs(we also called it as Grenade Machine Gun in recent years) like MK19 , LG4 AGL..etc. such grenade has a higher muzzle velocity , more range and more flat trajectory which is helpful for the request of accuracy at the long range.
BTW , M203 style UBGL fires other kind of 40×46 mm Low Pressure grenade.
the staff near the stand said it applied some sniper rifle's design , such as : free-floatingbarrel, and recoil shock absorber...and this model has a semi-auto firing mode only...
the 35mm QLB06 35mm Light-Weight AGL is right a contrast here...1. the rigid connection of bipod and Barrel. 2. 35mm Medium speed grenade .3. weaker shock absorber 4. optical sight only...
---------------------------
the military varient--35mm Sniper GL was tested by the PLAN Marine...we don't know whether a new high speed 35mm Grenade was developped for this new GL...the current AGLs in PLA service are using the same 35mm Medium pressure(speed) Grenade.
1. the main sight is Y/MGL11-005 photoelectric sight device (Laser range-finder and ballistic computer are integrated ) .the Observer of sniper pair would equip the BBG-401 photoelectric observation device which also has the the laser rangefinder and Ballistci computer. but the amplification ratio and field of view of the observation device is better.
2&3 . some difference could be spotted between the 35mm Military varient and 40mm Export one. (eg. sights , shock absorber and butt stock, Muzzle brake)
