Design and development
Design and development
The shoulder-fired launcher is a single-shot, manual-fed, and breech-loading weapon. It is lightweight, compact, breech-loading, and single-shot. It consists of a hand guard, sight, aluminum receiver assembly, barrel stop, and firing mechanism. The weapon could be used by any front-line assault troops in need of a long range explosive. This weapon would be carried as a secondary weapon for a breacher, the member of a team who carries breach tool during an assault. The rifle-attached variant could be mounted on the underside of either a Type 56, Type 81, or QBZ-95.
