Six Times the Boom!!! The Milkor M32A1 Grenade Launcher

this segment presented by Bravo Company USA all right fans I'm out here with sergeant first class bill who happens to be the senior instructor on the heavy weapons side of the house of the a-team Bravo committee thanks for having us out brother I appreciate it thank you coming out all right bill if you don't mind take us through this I personally don't have any time behind this one well you're in luck today Larry you're going to get some personal time with this weapon system excellent here we have a soft specific grenade launcher it's used by everybody from Rangers to Green Berets to seals MARSOC is using them now this is basically a six shot rotating cylinder grenade launcher think of it like a regular revolver that what makes a bigger boom one you can put rounds out very accurately with this weapon system you can pretty much cover an area five meters wide by 15 meters deep in under five seconds with all six shots it comes incorporated with a day-and-night sight optic now you have to manually adjust the range so once you range to the target you set it with the optic yep what happens is you're going to do your own little self range estimate go ahead and index this optic to that range you're going to rotate that barrel until your sight is on your target and you're going to launch some rounds out of you and you'd say that is day and night capable yes yes it has a day/night sight graduated in 25 meter increments so even if you have to make small adjustments you're not really having to go through the whole range adjustment process again it's just minor adjustments with the Sun with these grenade systems Larry they're very simple to operate the one thing that is kind of a downfall is you have to manually activate the cylinder so what you're going to go ahead do you're going to go ahead leash your rear assembly attachment pop your back side open you have to manually charge the cylinder so you have to reach in there rotate the cylinders all the way to activate the spring tension inside the cylinder so when you begin to fire this thing is going to rotate to the next chamber all by itself go ahead load your rounds in it just close your backplate keep your weapon pointed downrange apply your range estimate just put your sight on your target you're ready to fire and I see you you can adjust the stock to optimize for longer distance or whatnot yes how it's mounted yes the stock is adjustable for closer ranges instead of having to arc your back you know just straight on shot or for farther ranges go ahead activate your stock adds a little more elevation in front of your gun one of the other cooler functions is the speed that which the rounds the spent casings can be removed from this weapon system so the same latch that you use to open up the back of your weapon system you're going to go ahead push that in and the star pattern is going to push out the old spent casings how long you guys had this in service I know 2009 is when we started getting them fielded mass in Afghanistan so I'd say around 2008 2009 is really when it was being pushed out I've heard some good things about it oh it's a great system again a little bit bulkier but you know instead of going from say six rounds a minute you have 18 to 21 rounds a minute of firing with this excellent brother can't wait to fire that bad well it's a good time as glad I had a chance today get behind the milk or multiple shot grenade launcher basically like shooting a 40 millimeter revolver that's shoulder-fired few things about it the rapid-fire capability six shots being able to launch it downrange in a very short period of time is a major plus one thing you got to know your loading procedure I figured that out real quick unloading the gun clearing it and then making sure you reset the revolver cylinder by hand correctly is critical with that weapon system overall pretty slick talk to some old special operation guys I know and they love the weapon system it's been very effective overseas it's another thing that you see in the Special Operations Arsenal it's not necessarily ideal across the board but there are certain applications it does very very well you
