How do you fire this thing? A button trigger like the AUG grenade launcher? Spartan198 (talk) 16:20, 21 February 2013 (EST)

Here is a picture of the left side of the launcher:

At the front of the handguard part of the launcher is the catch that unlocks the breech much like on an M203. Half way along the handguard part is a circular button, and this is the trigger which is pressed with the thumb of the left hand. In front of the trigger is a safety catch, not sure but I think this is in the safe position, and is slid forwards towards the muzzle to disengage it. For right handed people, I think this is quite a good layout as you do not need to change your grip at all to fire a grenade, but it means that it will be pretty tricky if you are left handed as I don't think you can easily reach the trigger with your right hand. --commando552 (talk) 17:01, 21 February 2013 (EST)
