The assault rifle part will be based on Mini-Beryl shortened assault rifle. Grenade launcher part will be most probably based on previous Polish handheld automatic grenade launcher projects llike Pallad M - very few know, that Poland is worldwide leader in projects of handheld automatic grenadle launchers cal. 40 mm, there were prototypes as sonn as 80`: http://www.militech.sownet.pl/plxxi/xxi_pall.html Grenade launcher is examined in optional calibres: 23 mm, 25 mm and 40 mm (low and medium velocity) but there are no intention to change caliber in the same weapon. Programmed air-bursting ammunition in cal. 40 mm is in final stage of development. Jcamelo comment is total bullshit. Neon in Polish is the same as in English: neon light, neon bulb, neon lamp etc.
