How The Milkor MGL 40mm Grenade Launcher Works | Operation and Field Strip | World of Guns

World of Guns on pc.
Wikipedia: The Milkor MGL (Multiple Grenade Launcher) is a lightweight 40 mm six-shot revolver-type grenade launcher (variations also fire 37/38mm) developed and manufactured in South Africa by Milkor (Pty) Ltd. The MGL was demonstrated as a concept to the South African Defence Force (SADF) in 1981. The MGL was then officially accepted into service with the SADF as the Y2. After its introduction in 1983, the MGL was gradually adopted by the armed forces and law enforcement organizations of over 50 countries. Total production since 1983 has been more than 50,000 units.
The MGL is a multiple-shot weapon, intended to significantly increase a small squad's firepower when compared to traditional single-shot grenade launchers like the M203. The MGL is designed to be simple, rugged, and reliable. It uses the well-proven revolver principle to achieve a high rate of accurate fire which can be rapidly brought to bear on a target. A variety of rounds such as HE, HEAT, anti-riot baton, irritant, and pyrotechnic can be loaded, then fired as fast as the trigger can be pulled; the cylinder can be loaded or unloaded rapidly to maintain a high rate of fire. Although intended primarily for offensive and defensive use with high-explosive rounds, with appropriate ammunition the launcher is suitable for anti-riot and other security operations. A newly patented modification allows the MGL to fire less lethal (very low pressure) rounds.

if i remember properly, unlike other revolver-type weapons, this one has a spring loaded ammo cylinder, and it is stopped by a ratchet. every time you fire the gun, the gases push up on the gas plunger, raising the ratchet, thus allowing the cylinder to rotate. that's why firing the last shot doesn't perfectly align a chamber with the barrel as the cylinder spring has already lost resistance.

so it uses gunpowder but instead of a bullet it has a grenade? if so awesome

[@americangangster1911]

Yeah it's just a big cartridge with a grenade as a projectile, it can also shoot a variety of other rounds like flares, smoke grenades, 40mm shot shells ect.

How far is its effective range approx

[@itspersonnal6883]

There’s one thing I can’t find, I don’t know if the ammunition has obturation rings, and how the cannon achieves a relatively tight seal

[@americangangster1911]

I'm not sure, there might just be gas leakage similar to most revolvers.

[@itspersonnal6883]

@@americangangster1911 I guess so, there’s no way it’s a perfect seal
