QLZ-87B/QLB-06 grenade launcher

Grenade launchers

Country of origin China
The QLZ-87 (also known as Type 87) is an air-cooled, gas operated 35×32mmSR automatic grenade launcher (AGL) that is crew transportable (12–20 kg (26–44 lb)) with limited amounts of ammunition. Unusual for handheld grenade launchers, the QLZ-87 fires high-velocity grenades of 35x32 mmSR caliber, which provides a longer range and flatter firing trajectory. It is the first ever indigenous automatic grenade launcher in China.
The QLZ-87 is being complemented by the QLZ-04, which is fed from a belt and thus is better suited to be mounted on tripods and vehicles.
