How many grenades would fit in that cannister?

It looks so modern, like up-engineered from an assault rifle and now more like a special dedicated grenade launcher. One could be hard pressed by looking at the first two pics that they are Chinese.

If you dig around, there is a recent picture of a Chinese OICW like weapon being offered for export. It looks like PLA took a pass on it.

I remember that. Weren't there only two photos? One showing the guy holding it, and another with someone pointing it out of an APC or something. The only images I have are so small, you can't really make out anything in it.

Sorry, I'm too lazy to dig it up, but I read it as a rumor. It does have a bit of corroboration though: the QLB-06 is to be issued at the squad level, and the new tripod mounted 35mm grenade launcher at the company level. Together with the recent expose on the bounce air-burst 35mm grenade, I think what likely happened is that the 3 grenade launchers (gun mounted, QLB-06, the tripod mounted) plus the bounce airburst round won the competition against the OICW-like weapon.
