Would the v40 "golf ball" grenade have ever been launched from the m16 platform using the mn30 style launching device? If so was there a dedicated sight leaf? or would something like the energa leaf used?
Any pictures of this setup on a m16?

Other than the small pic of the launcher/grenade/M16 shown on the above brochure I've never seen one. I have seen a few V40's 'in the wild' but never with a launching tail piece.

The "mini" frags have always had a place in my heart (it's the cutest piece of [replica] ordnance in my collection). That being said, I've never seen, read, or heard of any use with a launching adapter off the end of a `16.

Isn't that the frag that Delta uses?

They got used in Central America in the 80s, too.

I own an INERT V40. SOG did use them a lot. As far as I know and have studied it in the past, the launchers weren't imported. Only the grenades.

The swingtop style retention clip is interesting.
