This entry details the Airtronic modernized China Lake 40mm grenade launcher, a prototype developed for US Marine Corps trials following the Battle of Fallujah. It highlights the design modifications, including Picatinny rails and an AR-15 buffer tube interface, intended to integrate modern optics and stocks.
