    RAINF 1984, I trained firing the M26 grenade from our L1A1 SLR equipped with a disposable attachment and firing ballistite cartridges with the gas system switched off, effectively lengthened grenade throwing distance however was a bit cumbersome and seemed redundant as the M79 & M203 had been in service since Vietnam though only 1 per section issued so the rifle grenade did gave the section additional firepower - I guess we had plenty in war stocks to use up. I don't remember using them after my 1st year posted to unit. They were fun years, lots of old Vietnam-era equipment phasing out, stop-gap stuff in-between, trialling new gear - we were still using the F1 SMG, L1A1, L2A1 LMG, M60, L4A4 BREN, L7 then MAG58 - our battalion armourers had their hands full - 7.62mm was still the rage, lots of punch in close country/jungle.

    Interestingly, some modern armies still use rifle grenades in preference or alongside tube-shot grenades. Modern RG's have a hollow channel down the middle and a "gas trap" system that allows them to be shot without messing about with blank cartridges; you can use normal rifle cartridges with them.

      The US army has (had?) the M100 Grenade Rifle Entry Munition in inventory, though I'm not sure how prolific it is. A standard M4 or M16, along with most NATO/western rifles, can fire 22mm grenades. Rifle grenades have a few advantages over their tube counterparts; they can be a lot bigger without being constrained by bore diameter and it's a less expensive system, at least with the launching hardware. The projectiles are probably less expensive generally, though it would depend on the specific models compared.

    I think there's a French or British rifle grenade setup that DOES use live ammo when launching it. The grenade has a reinforced plate and a standoff distance that catches the bullet, and the conservation of momentum sends the grenade flying off the rifle. I can't remember what the model is though... Señor McCollum, I hereby summon you. 😂

    I must say that clip from band of brothers - I was always a little suspicious at the way he hit that and she posts so easily. Particularly as he didn't seem to aim at all. 😁 Edit: some rifle grenades are fired with a normal round - not this one obviously but I think the French and the British had at least one that had some sort of baffle that slowed the projectile from the round down as it went up the tube of the grenade. This enabled you to not have to change over to a special cartridge to fire the grenade.

    Slight error~ the M1 could function semi-automatically with the grenade launcher fitted (but without a grenade inplace.) The grenade launcher only opens the valve in the gas cylinder lock screw when a grenade is fired. Squad leaders often left the launcher in place so as to be ready to fire smoke or flares.

    Designated grenadiers in a squad would load clips with just the launching blanks and have their rifle setup for this task most of the time.. There was thought given to having a dedicated bolt action launching tube that could be mounted to rifles thus giving the soldier both options at the same time without need for taking time to change over.. This option was never adopted because the weight of the rifle would be similar to the heavier BAR and the production of the special purpose bazooka and its distribution with superior/larger warheads became readily available.. Many of the squad grenadiers as the video said became common to have several were retasted with the bazooka or small mortar squads that were attached to the rifle squads.. This was all part of the evolution of squad and field tactics that occurred during the war at the cost of many lives until pretty much perfected near the end of the war..

    My first experience with rifle grenadiers was Close Combat.

So you could end up with an entire square of impact craters if they keep shooting.

      Advantages of an underbarrel GL: You can have a grenade ready without losing the ability to shoot a bullet. You don't add wear and tear to a rifle's barrel (huge cost savings when factoring in across an entire army of logistics). Generally loading and firing is simpler thus the squad has more firepower.

      There actually were rifle grenade rounds in WW2 that did use regular bullets (or at least wouldn't explode if fired this way). I think the French had them.
