If so, then all you really need to launch one safely is a piece of pipe strong enough to withstand the initial blast of gas and something to hit the primer.... essentially what they've got there. Actually, it seems closer to a Volcanic than a GJ... Wikipedia writes up the GP-25 which is the native launcher, and describes operation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP-30 FWIW I think the Russian VOG-25 is one of their designs that keeps the propellant and essentially the chamber as part of the projectile, not unlike a Gyrojet.

His tube most certainly has no rifling, and I doubt that the grenade will detonate if it doesn't hit head-on. I wonder why he does it at all.
