M1 Garand Grenade Launcher Accessories*|*e-GunParts.com


also, what kind of ammo does such a thing use?

also, i don't understand this part. was the gas plug removed to accomodate the launcher?

"The main drawback of the M7 was that it caused a large amount of gas to be tapped off from the operating system of the M1 and into the barrel. While the launcher was attached to the muzzle, the rifle would only function in manual mode. To allow the rifle to fire in semi-automatic mode, the grenade launcher had to be removed from the rifle."


.. hey, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

...no wise cracks, please..
