Milkor Ltd is still a privately held South African company, internationally known for its 40mm Multiple Grenade Launchers. Over the last 28 years, Milkor has provided in excess of 50000 grenade launchers to law enforcement and army agencies in more than thirty nations around the planet from less-lethal to deadly weapons.

It is however the 40mm MGL (Multiple Grenade Launcher ) made the Milkor name famous. Though many have since tried to repeat the first design, "There is still no substitute for the original" as the firm's slogan so justly puts it.

Presently in production is the second generation MGL Mark 1 (which enhanced the capabilities of the mythical Y2 ), as well as the 3rd generation MGL Mark 1S ( with 105mm chambers), and MGL Mark 1L ( with longer chambers which can accommodate an even wider range of ammo including payload rounds). The launcher can't be accidentally discharged if dropped.

This weapon is a light, semi-automatic, low velocity, shoulder-fired 40 mm grenade launcher with a six-round capacity and a progressively-rifled barrel. It involves the well-proven revolver principle that will deliver 40mm rounds to an effective range of 375m at a fast firing rate of six rounds in 3 seconds. A selection of rounds such as HE, HEAT, HEDP, anti-riot baton, irritant or pyrotechnic may be used; the cylinder can be loaded or unloaded rapidly.

Milkor furnishes its MGLs with adjustable occluded eye gunsights ( OEG ) which has been designed to ascertain the range to establish the range to the target and can be straight away adjusted accordingly. It enables the user to extend the hit probability at ranges of almost 375 metres.

New needs lead to new innovations.The 40mm US-Mark 4 is a light-weight under-barrel Grenade Launcher with advance safety aspects which can be attached to any modern assault weapon.The 40mm US-Mark four can be employed on any of the existing mainline assault weapons such as the R4-Galil, M16, AK47, G3 and SG540 ( with minor adjustments ), therefore enabling the user with a 40mm Grenade Launch capacity together with a 7,62mm or 5,7mm. Recently ongoing developments and new light-weight materials led to the manufacturing of the 40mm US-Mark 4S, which weighs a phenomenal 735g! This new weapon houses a specialised Picatinny interface with external Picatinny mounting, superb for add-ons like laser lights or torches. Similarly it has a clip-on/clip-off mechanism for the Picatinny assembly, an in-built safety on the trigger and a mechanism that cocks the weapon mechanically when loading.

The new Stopper Mark two, and 37/38mm and 40mm Pistol Mark 2 shares logistics to the extent that the application required by the customer will identify which barrel should be fitted, from 37/38 or 40mm smoothbore to the 40mm grooved deadly barrel. Stopper Mark two uses the same parts as the Pistol-family. It also features a new butt-stock.

The Milkor solid state Sight idea ( no moving parts), with embedded gradients and reticule, covered with shock-resistant material. Recoil and strong handling of weaponry in a battlefield scenario can cause havoc with standard reflex and optical plant. Milkor developed a completely new sight which not only addresses these aspects but will also offer a separate scale on the same sight for the medium range grenade launchers ( up to 800m.

This weapon is excellent for lightweight infantary fighting automobiles and security forces, fast attack Navy crafts and chopper application with the recoil system.

MILKOR furthermore developed a vehicle and fixed mounting systems to accommodate their fresh release range, particularly suited for mounting on any automobiles and structures. This new concept is perfect for warships and patrol craft alike. The built -in recoil buffer system enables low interference on weapon systems, and it is perfectly fitted for boat and copter mountings as discussed above.
