History
After the end of the Korean War, the US military developed the M79 Grenade Launcher. It was a lightweight portable weapon that discharged grenades accurately from a safe distance. After many trials and errors, the Grenade Launcher became a standard issued weapon at the end of 1960 and was nick named "The Thumper". The weapon had a simple design and having only 5 parts. It was a powerful weapon and was dubbed "the platoon leader's artillery" with an accuracy rate of about 150 yards. The 40 x 46mm grenades of the M79 was developed exclusively for the shoulder fired weapon and is discharged by low pressure gas. The M79 also uses an aluminum alloy barrel to lighten its weight.

The body is completely solid, the action of the trigger and barrel lock is smooth, as to be expected from Echo 1 and CAW. The launcher comes complete with one CAW M203 shell, all Classic Army, CAW, King Arms and Mad Bull grenade shells are compatible. Great realism, good weight, durable and a true collector and war gamer's item. Great for anti-armor rounds, and compact enough to sling on your back or carry in your day pack.
