Milkor is a world leader in the design, development and manufacturing of 37/38 and 40mm weapons systems and is famous for its 40mm MGL (Multiple Grenade Launcher) range of products. Incorporated in 1981, Milkor was founded by Mr Andries C. Piek. Mr Piek built Milkor’s first prototype Multiple Grenade Launcher in his workshop in 1980.
The Milkor weapon systems have been used by various National Defence Forces for more than 35 years. More than 55,000 Multiple Grenade Launcher Systems have been sold in over 50 countries. Presenting the latest in a trusted family of 40mm Grenade Launchers, Milkor unleashes the new 40mm Super Six MRGL, a versatile sixth generation 6-shot launcher with different options of cylinder length. A wide variety of 40mm ammunition can be fired from the SuperSix platform. Effective range includes all existing low- and medium velocity ammunition. Rounds can be fired in rapid succession of 6 rounds in less than 3 seconds (operator dependant). Standard 6-shot area coverage of at least 20m x 60m. The SuperSix is manufactured from Mil Standard materials to endure most severe battlefield conditions. The SuperSix offers the most effective multi-shot handheld fire power available to the modern soldier for commanding the battle field in any combat scenario. Ideally designed for use by armed forces where extreme versatility is needed in a live combat or peacekeeping environment. Rapid-moving armoured personnel carriers, helicopter gunships and patrol boats can easily be fitted with the SuperSix too. The SuperSix is capable of firing a wide range of standard and medium velocity munitions, which enables the user to engage a wider range of targets than possible with a standard 40 mm launcher. |
