  • Patent number: 11035646
    Abstract: A grenade launcher system comprises a grenade launcher receiver and a grenade launcher barrel attached to the grenade launcher receiver. A trigger assembly is attached to the grenade launcher receiver at a position adjacent the grenade launcher barrel. The grenade launcher receiver has an elongate channel disposed on an upper surface of the grenade launcher receiver, the elongate channel extending parallel to the grenade launcher barrel and configured to slidably and removably receive a mounting rail. In certain embodiments, the grenade launcher system is configured to operate in an underslung configuration relative to a firearm. In certain embodiments, the grenade launcher system is configured to operate in a standalone configuration without a firearm.
