Rifles do not have mounts for "rocket propelled grenade launchers". This author knows absolutely nothing about guns. This is at best a sad attempt to publicize her terrible previous book, and at worst the wind-up to her next hack job book where she will convert back from pro- to anti- second amendment.
- squozzer 9y agoThat isn't quite true. A lot of rifles from WW2 era had special attachments for firing granades - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M7_grenade_launcher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M7_grenade_launcher More recent examples are the M203, which is still in US service - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M203_grenade_launcher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M203_grenade_launcher But if you're buds with Kim Jong-Un you might have the opportunity to purchase some cool Soviet-style military surplus - http://www.businessinsider.com/north-korea-reportedly-smuggling-rpgs-to-egypt-2017-10 http://www.businessinsider.com/north-korea-reportedly-smuggl...
- tbihl 9y agoUnless I'm missing something,the first two examples are not rocket-propelled, and the third is not rifle-mounted.
- Meph504 9y agoActually the first one, is a perfect (and possibly one of the few) examples of a rifle based rocket propelled grenade. Though you wouldn't consider it a launcher as its just afixed to directly to the barrel. The author (or more likely their copyeditor) possibly succumbed to buzzword bingo, when simply saying "an under barrel mount" would have been sufficed. But the message of the article I feel has its merits, and hopefully that isn't lost because of poor choice of a single sentence.
