The following article contains a digital photo of the new Corner Shot 40â„¢ 40mm "Around-the-Corner" Personal Grenade Launcher (PGL). As far as DefenseReview is aware, this is the first information-with-picture to be published on the new weapon system.

Back in December, 2003, we published an article on Corner Shot, which impressed us at SWAT Round-Up 2003. The article was titled "Corner Shot. 'Cause You Never Know What's Waiting for You Around the Corner.". Well, this little story out of Israel just keeps gettin' better, because the company has just released a new 40mm grenade launcher version of the system called the Corner Shot 40â„¢ Personal Grenade Launcher (PGL). That's right. Now, military Spec-Operators and private military company (PMC) operators will be able to go 40 mike-mike on the badguys from around the corner while conducting urban warfare and counterinsurgency operations--quite a big step up from NATO Std. 9mm Parabellum (9x19mm) pistol and submachine gun ammo, which is one of the calibers the original Corner Shot around-the-corner weapon system utilizes (along with other semi-auto pistol calibers like .40 S&W and .45 ACP, since it will accept just about any Mil/LE-applicable semi-auto pistol).

DefenseReview would actually like to see a six-round revolver-action version of the system that would offer all the advantages of the Milkor MGL Mk-1S Multiple Grenade Launcher and Corner Shot 40â„¢ PGL, combined. However, a six-round version would probably be unwieldy/too front-heavy and create too wide a signature, as the Corner Shot 40â„¢'s design places the launcher up front. That would mean 6 rounds and the revolver mechanism (with cylinder) up front. That would be a lot to have to swing around a corner.

Here's what the company has to say about the Corner Shot 40â„¢ 40mm Personal Grenade Launcher (PGL) and standard model Corner Shot system in their most recent marketing/press release literature:...

"The inventors of the Corner Shotâ„¢ system now offer the same outstanding concept in a new 40mm version. The new Corner Shot 40â„¢ is based on the outstanding features and capabilities of the original Corner Shotâ„¢ system. The new model offers the increased firepower extended range, and enhanced cover fire of a 40mm launcher. This system is also available to police and other law enforcement agencies in 37mm.

The Corner Shotâ„¢ system is a high-tech weapon system that enables military, law enforcement and security operators to effectively observe and engage targets from around the corner / behind cover without exposing any part of the operators body and thus reducing the liability to the operator.

The Corner Shotâ„¢ concept - patented worldwide - has been tested and is currently employed by Special Forces, military units, and law enforcement agencies around the world.

Las Vegas, Nevada - 28 January 2005: Corner Shot Holdings, L.L.C. the manufacturer of the Corner Shot â„¢ line of products that can shoot around corners, is proud to announce the worldwide release of a new product - the “Corner Shot 40â„¢â€

Alright that was not meant as a joke, it was actually a type of M203. I guess that site wouldn't let me copy. I will get the site and cut and paste instead of linking it.

You are probably correct Ranger AbnRgr289.

Seriously I don't know whay or how that happened.

I was posting that specific page because I remember a while back Ranger Spartan posted something very similar but it was for hand guns. When I saw this one for a grenade Launcher it really caught my interest.

One of the things said in the story was it was already being used by some law enforcement and military units. That is why I asked if anyone had used it.

THIS THREAD REALLY DOES BELONG IN THE WEAPONS OF WAR THREAD.

That grenade launcher looks like a total piece of shit.
