Original U.S. Desert Storm Era Inert Complete Set of 10 40mm High Velocity Rounds on MK19 Links for the Mark 19 Grenade Launcher in Original M2A1 Ammunition Canister

Original Items. Only One Lot Available. The Mk 19 grenade launcher (pronounced Mark 19) is an American 40 mm belt-fed automatic grenade launcher that was first developed during the Vietnam War. The Mk 19 is a belt-fed, blowback-operated, air-cooled, crew-served, fully-automatic weapon that is designed not to cook off. It fires 40 mm grenades at a cyclic rate of 325 to 375 rounds per minute, giving a practical rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute (rapid) and 40 rounds per minute (sustained). The weapon operates on the blowback principle, which uses the chamber pressure from each fired round to load and re-cock the weapon.

This device has no explosive charge or contents present, and cannot be used as an explosive device. This is a totally inert example and is in compliance per the current BATF standards governing ordnance. Not Available For Export.
