Often confused with the later EX-41 Launcher, the China Lake Launcher was used in limited numbers by US Navy SEAL Teams, Marine Force Recon and the 5th Special Forces Group. The weapon is essentially a pump-action [[M79 Grenade Launcher]] with a 4-round tubular magazine added under the barrel. Only four complete original weapons are thought to exist; one at the UDT/SEAL Museum, one in a Vietnamese war museum, one in the hands of the ATF Technologies branch, and the last by Brian Fauci of Canal Side Guns, who make a knock-off of the weapon called "The Ultimate M79." Recently, Airtronic USA (a company also known for manufacturing modernised RPG-7s under license from Bazalt) has started manufacture of the China Lake launcher and a modernised model with a retractable M4-type stock, pistol grip and Picatinny rails.

China Lake Launcher - 40x46mm

Often confused with the later EX-41 Launcher, the China Lake Launcher was used in limited numbers by US Navy SEAL Teams, Marine Force Recon and the 5th Special Forces Group. The weapon is essentially a pump-action M79 Grenade Launcher with a 4-round tubular magazine added under the barrel. Only four complete original weapons are thought to exist; one at the UDT/SEAL Museum, one in a Vietnamese war museum, one in the hands of the ATF Technologies branch, and the last by Brian Fauci of Canal Side Guns, who make a knock-off of the weapon called "The Ultimate M79." Recently, Airtronic USA (a company also known for manufacturing modernised RPG-7s under license from Bazalt) has started manufacture of the China Lake launcher and a modernised model with a retractable M4-type stock, pistol grip and Picatinny rails.
