Yes, this is a detonation like a gun, not a rocket engine. The reason there is 4 holes instead of one big is because the smaller holes have less risk of leaving any parts of the seal in the chamber of the weapon. It is a cased weapon, but the casing is attached to the bullet and go out the barrel with it. “Unlike the Gyrojet I think all the grenade powder is burnt before the round leaves the barrel, unlike the Gyrojet which burnt the propellant slowly and accelerated slowly.”

This 40mm launcher I think is made for export and testing. I dont think the Russian are abondoing the 30mm gernade. This 40mm launcher I think is made for export and testing.

Great blog though! Just a quick correction, IDEX is held in Abu Dhabi, you are confusing and combining it with its better known sister city in the UAE, Dubai I think. Great blog though!

Neither weight of weapon nor weight of ammunition is a major problem on vehicles and such weapons are too heavy for dismounted use anyway, so I wonder why they apparently emphasized ammunition weight. Reliability, external ballistics, effect and ammunition volume are the most interesting variables of such a weapon.
