Collimatrix Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 The automatic grenade launcher is a QLZ-04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scolopax Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Top image is a flamethrower. It appears similar to the LPO-50/Type 74, but different enough. Not sure on any name. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type 74 flamethrower (rather rare to see in service and drills, flamethrowers were mostly replaced in the man portable incendiary role by the FHJ-84 Twin barreled 62mm Incendiary rocket launcher and thermobarics.) QJG-89 12.7x108mm HMG. QLZ-04 "Heavy" 35x32mm GMG. (Heavy is relative to the QLZ-87 in size and weight, though they don't really fit the same role even though both are GMGs.)

So that's probably something like a heavy weapons unit on exercise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula_941 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 there were still some type74 in service currently but the flamethrower in the picture is the Type 02(A or C), which a lighter and better variant of Type 74. the main visual difference is the canister number decreased from 3 (type 74)to 2 compare to the old Type74 flamethrower Khand-e, That_Baka and Zyklon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 How DARE the sanctity of the Infantry Tools and Tactics be sullied by a cheap sight gag meant to poke fun at outlandish weapons prototypes! Don't you know this section is reserved for 3,000 word tracts on the ballistics of hypothetical rifle rounds replete with 18 graphs and posts on the weights of bolt carrier groups from obscure mid-20th century firearms no one has heard of! The nerve! The shear cheek of some people! *Harumph* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one of us is drunk anything can get randomly necro'd, if we're being honest. /sips weird local coffee infused whiskey calmly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got the 90 degree Krummlauf barrel accessory for shooting around corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
