Hey everyone I am trying to find some information concerning how a GP-30 firing mechanism works. Does anyone have any drawings or detailed information on the subject. I have no intention of building a grenade launcher but I am interested in how the unit fires and is loaded compared to that of the m203. http://www.rusmilitary.com/images/gp_left.jpg Thanks Ian |

well one of the main differance's between the GP-30 and the M203 is the fact that the gernades used in the GP-30 are caseless. as far as the way the firing mechanism works i think its pretty simple guessing.. pulling the trigger probably compresses the firing pin spring untel it hits full back then it release's.. thats just my guess... i would love to get my hands on one is say 37mm and see about working out some flares, smoke rounds for it... but damn their spendy..

Another major difference is that, unlike the M-203, the are loaded from the muzzle. Here's a link I had bookmarked: world.guns.ru/grenade/gl05-e.htm |
| I don't know anything about the GP-30 but I have slammed my finger in an M-203 a few times causing it to bleed pretty good. It sounds like a stupid thing to do and simple enough to avoid, but in a fire fight with the adrenaline going and lobbing multiple rounds it happens easily. |
