Chinese Grenade Launcher II

Could it be used on helicopter side doors?

Might also be good against bunkers and shallow tunnels.

For that you probably want something automatic.

this is for export
you see ，40mm.....It's not PLA‘s calibre .

True enough youngling, but in this case this one is so weird, as I can think of no true western or eastern equivalent.

It is a fire support weapon.

mainly(but still rarely) used by marines now(damn marines,always got the newst toys,envy)

"one day" may spread to every infantry squad ,just like LMG...."one day"....

every thing of it is ok but the price.....too expensive(after all, attached with a laser rangefinder, ballistics computer and telescopic sight——I don't know if it got night vision sight.)

For helo-mounted weapon they've QLZ-04 which is more suitable for the job; and for bunkers or shallow tunnels, they've thermalbaric rockets for such a job.

to be honest

I don't think this " trade edition" can success....

you konw the muzzle velocity of 40*53mm ammunition(M430HEDP) fired by MK19 is just 241m/s...the ballistic is too....

Not sure if I would envy the poor shmuck who gets to lug this thing. A Barret 50 cal is 30 pounds unloaded add a scope and ammo and it gets heavy. This mother is packing a drum mag of 40mm rounds. I am betting at least 45 pounds unloaded.
but you did say something of interest. Marines, that might suggest that its more to support landings or attack light naval targets. Like say oh... A pirate ship.
now put away the cutlass take the eye patch off and put the poly back in his cage... A modern pirate ship a small speed boat or fishing boat filled with a crew packing AKMs not blunderbuss. And RPGs not Cannon. A system like this might be used by a military crew to drop grenade rounds on to the deck. Or maybe drop smoke or flash bangs on captured ship as a assault team boards to take it back. It might even be used to keep small ships from getting to close to a navy ship entering a port like the Cole bombing.

the PLA solider believe one thing : taking something heavy is much better than lack of firepower(PLA is enough of lack of firepower,some "mad" officer even want 12.7MG in a infantry squad) in action.And the other solider in same squad can also help to take more grenade(one mag everone——after all ,that " poor shmuck "'s toy might save the squad members' life).

and, it's mainly used to anti firing point and light vehicles ——after all ,lt is much more accurate and range is langer——with smaller fire trace than the 69（RPG）an PF 89。

i got no idea did this toy tested in the gulf of Aden （many new small arms are tested there）by the navy SpeO(not the marine corps)，but i think,yes,it did.

this thing has already receive the official designation QLU-11....Q for firearm L for grenade launcher Q for sniper....
speculation and rumors to its usage on chinese forums are

QLU11 are accurate medium to long range infantry support weapon that has an effective single target range up to 800-1000M,can engage group targets up to 1500M-2000M...basically,it is a beef-up 50cal sniper rifle with quite a boom and a shorter effective range.
QLU11s are the result of unsatisfying accuracy of chinese sniper/marksmen rifle

chinese military-buff netizens jokingly states the weapon's design logic is like this:
"We can't make good accurate sniper rifles,so screw it,just make a long-barrel,super-sonic muzzle-velocity,35MM programmable grenade launcher that came with built-in laser-range finders and ballistic computer instead....so we don't need to hit the target in the head from 800m away,we just need it to hit the same room and be done with it,and we don't need all that messy sniper shooting training.......
