Multiple Grenade Launcher Type RBG-6, cal.40x46mm
Multiple Grenade Launcher Type RBG-6, cal.40x46mm, is lightweight, semi-automatic, shoulder fired grenade launcher for infantry use. It fires widely used 40x46mm grenade, low velocity family grenades.
The weapon is based on the revolver principle with a spring-driven, gas operated cylinder.
The weapon is equipped with a three-position folding stock. When fully extended the stock is almost parallel with the barrel. It is locked in that position for shorter ranges and as the range increases, the stock can be raised slightly to facilitate sighting.
The weapon is fitted with an Occluded Eye Gunsight (O.E.G.), which means that the weapon is fired with both eyes open. One eye looks into the sight and focuses on the red line, while the other eye has unimpeded view of the target. The sight is fully operational in both good and poor weather conditions as long as the target is visible.
