Automatic Grenade Launchers have been around since the 1960s, but today new technology allows them to take on new roles on the battlefield. Watch as Helge Stadheim, Nammo's Product Director for 40 mm ammunition presents some of the benefits it offers when combined with a remote weapon station.

    This totally beats my idea of a claymore mine in the shape of a frisby.

    This is how you spawn a floating shotgun next to an enemy 500m away.

    The Norwegian street service has gotten really aggressive about gritting their roads.

    My favorite part is how this guy looks like the nicest and calmest person on the planet, while telling you how his air burst ammo will turn you into groundmeat and make limbs go flying.

    I recall during a firefight in 69 receiving fire support from an old Chaffee tank chassis fitted out with an outdated 40mm twin Bofors AA ship mount. I think it was affectionately known as a 'Duster'. Extremely effective and impressed by the continual stream of fused AA airburst ammo. That was 1969.

    There’s a lot of advantages to this round but the fuse setter allows it to be added onto the cannon itself without modifications to the weapon! The Airburst is awesome!
  • Very smart the fuse-setter can be places next to the standard 40mm cannon, without changing it.

    I never knew a 40mm could even penetrate targets such as these, I thought it was more of a way of peppering the enemy with shrapnel rather then penetrating steel, but here you go. Terrifying stuff, and amazing at the same time

    Definition of "fuck everything in that general direction!"

    Nice work. Hell of a weapons system. Interesting to see that it programs after the shot, vs. the OIWS's method of programming the round in the breach.
  • Never occurred to me what a great testing surface ice is for this kind of stuff

    I used to carry an m203 and when i saw that 65mm plate my first thought was "wow, that's gutsy to demonstrate the limits of your munitions. I mean, it gives any potential hostile a reference to defeat your product, but hey, it's an A for guts" I was mistook. This is a badass system. I kind of want one. ..

    The explosion patterns on the "string of pearls" pearls was amazing. I can see this weapon is better suited for urban and city combat/defense. Noice

    I just showed this to my dad, enlisted marine stationed in khe sahn in 67-68 and he carried an m79. He wishes he had these munitiins back then.
