40 mm underbarrel grenade launcher GP-34
The GP-34 is a light weight, compact, single-shot underbarrel grenade launcher designed to engage exposed targets or
targets located in trenches or reverse sides of slopes at a distance from 100 to 400 m.
The GP-34 fits 5.45, 5.56 and 7.62 mm assault rifles made by JSC "Concern "Izhmash": AKM, AKMS, AK74, AKS74, AK74M, AK101,
AK103 and AN-94. If necessary, a shooter can fire an assault rifle with a grenade launcher mounted.
The sight makes it possible to launch grenades along flat or curved trajectories.
The GP-34 fires VOG-25 or VOG-25M fragmentation grenades, VOG-25P or VOG-25PM fragmentation bounding grenades, and VDG-25
smoke grenades.
The unused round can be withdrawn from the launcher with an extractor.
The GP-34 features the following advantages:
Reliability
- It is designed and tested specifically for the Kalashnikov assault rifles, fits such assault rifles directly without any
adaptors or forearm dismantling.
Improved safety
- The GP-34 is 100% failure-free thanks to improved firing mechanism.
- The design prevents a round from moving within or falling out of the barrel, even if the muzzle looks down.
- The GP-34 features an additional mechanism (firing pin safety lever) to improve safety during loading.
Improved sight, better accuracy.
Improved extractor - for easier extraction of an unused round under stringent conditions.
