GP grenade launchers are similar in appearance and fire the same Russian 40mm caliber ammunition. At the top of the barrel is the mounting hardware to attach the weapon to the underside of a rifle barrel, from which it is designed to fire. The GP barrel has a useful life of about 400 rounds.
GP grenade launchers fire multiple 40mm VOG-25 high-explosive fragmentation grenades, with a total range of 400 meters and an effective range of 150m. These Russian-Soviet 40mm grenades are not compatible with Western 40x46mm grenades. Originally, the main grenade was the VOG-15 (7P17) fragmentation grenade, which has a lethal radius of six meters. Ammunition for the muzzle-loading GP-25 consists of a single piece containing propellant and charge, as opposed to the more traditional two-piece case and projectile design of comparable US 40x46mm ammunition used in breech-loading grenade launchers, such as the [[M203]]. This integral "caseless" design - with the propellant and primer contained in the base of the grenade - provides for when the grenade is fired nothing is left in the barrel, so the operator can load the next grenade.

The AKM, an abbreviation for "Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy" (Russian: Автомат Калашникова модернизированный), is a widely recognized assault rifle that emerged as a modernized variant of the iconic AK-47. Designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in the 1950s, the AKM featured improvements in manufacturing techniques, resulting in a lighter, more cost-effective firearm. Renowned for its reliability, simplicity, and widespread adoption, the AKM became one of the most prolific firearms in history, serving in numerous conflicts and military forces worldwide.

The AKM was produced in the Soviet Union, and is a modernized variant of the AK-47. It was given to communist forces in Vietnam as military aid. The BG-15 is a grenade launcher made by the Soviet Union. It has seen very limited use during the Vietnam War, if at all, prototypes were used.


HISTORY

The development of a grenade launcher for the AKM assault rifle began in 1966 at the Central Design and Research Bureau of Sporting and Hunting Arms (TsKIB SOO). Development continued into the 1970s, and in 1978 it was accepted into service. The initial version was designated the BG-15 Mukha ("Fly"), and was mounted under the barrel of the AK-74 assault rifle. The main production version, the GP-25, has a different aiming system. The GP-30 was made lighter and the aiming system was redesigned and moved to the right.

GP grenade launchers are similar in appearance and fire the same Russian 40mm caliber ammunition. At the top of the barrel is the mounting hardware to attach the weapon to the underside of a rifle barrel, from which it is designed to fire. The GP barrel has a useful life of about 400 rounds.

GP grenade launchers fire multiple 40mm VOG-25 high-explosive fragmentation grenades, with a total range of 400 meters and an effective range of 150m. These Russian-Soviet 40mm grenades are not compatible with Western 40x46mm grenades. Originally, the main grenade was the VOG-15 (7P17) fragmentation grenade, which has a lethal radius of six meters. Ammunition for the muzzle-loading GP-25 consists of a single piece containing propellant and charge, as opposed to the more traditional two-piece case and projectile design of comparable US 40x46mm ammunition used in breech-loading grenade launchers, such as the M203. This integral "caseless" design - with the propellant and primer contained in the base of the grenade - provides for when the grenade is fired nothing is left in the barrel, so the operator can load the next grenade.
