    I was issued a M16A2/M203 and was quite partial to having a rilfe and grenade launcher in the same rig. However, the problem was that the 203 was only 1 shot, this diminished the effectiveness of a grenade attack. Now the M-32 allows you to shower multible (up to six) grenades on a target for max results. I LIKE IT!

    Yeah, and it’s a South African weapon design to boot. After all, it’s nothing less than the MGL-140, created by Milkor of South Africa and successor to the successful MGL Mk-1.
