M234 Riot Control Launcher Mounted on M16A1 Rifle


Recommended Posts

Has anyone ever seen one of these? I recently acquired this manual, and the Launcher, Projectile, 64 Millimeter: Riot Control, M234 is new to me. Maybe someone on here has some experience with the device. The manual is dated October, 1980.

I have some lauching ctgs and a piece of one of the fired RAG projectiles.(ring airfoil greneades). Never got so shoot it but they are unique. I'll look around for it.

 

 


PS the ctgs are the same as the ones for the AAI MPG launcher.

I think I remember these. This is the one where the airfoil lifts at 1G and gravity pulls it down at 1G , so it flies straight as a laser beam till it runs out of steam , correct ?

Chris

yes that is the one. Great description. Here are the launching ctgs. They are labled only for RAG but issued with the AAI MPG launcher when used on M16. Also included 12 ga for MPG

David you were lucky to find a manual. Most of the launchers were destroyed. Some pieces came up for auction a few years ago. They were pretty rough. It was an interesting concept and i would have liked to shoot one.

Here is a tail piece. I dont have a complete projectile. This is expended as the round goes down range. To right is extra centerpiece.
