This 40mm grenade launcher is nearly an exact copy of the M79 "blooper" infantry grenade launcher of Vietnam War fame. Filling the gap between the hand-thrown grenade and a full mortar, the M79 gave a balance between the agility of the former and the striking power of the latter that was extremely useful in the sort of extremely fluid, high-speed clashes that could happen in the field. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights with fixed "battle notch" mounted to the barrel, automatic tang safety, swiveling winter triggerguard, nylon sling and a "NOSHOC" brand recoil pad.

Excellent, with 98% of the black anodized barrel finish and 90% of the phosphate finish on the other components, the former showing minor thinning, the latter some areas of brown patina, and mild handling marks overall. The stock is fine and has been lightly sanded, with mild dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
