Staff Sgt. James C. Sanchez aims in with the M-32 Multiple shot Grenade Launcher, an experimental six-barreled weapn that can deliver six 40 mm grenades in under three seconds. Marines are fielding the new rapid-fire weapon to troops to boost small-team capabilities to deliver greater indirect firepower.

Judging from the pic it doesn't have 6 barrels, it has only one. It has a 6-chambered revolving cylinder.

It looks like a nice, sturdy weapon all the same, though.

An independent infantry unit needs organic indirect fire. In 1941-45 it was rifle grenades. This weapon looks good as far as I can see.

Usual doubts, though - extreme heat, cold, dust, sand, mud, etc., broken springs, etc. Put one into the wave breaking area of a sand beach overnight and see if it works without a detail strip.

My "oh yeah," it must be noted, was directed at the GUN, not the GUYs.

Picture looks like a single barrel with a multiple chambered cylinder. Cylinder looks as if it could hold more than six grenades.

This is more of an offensive weapon. With this, you shoot, adjust and fire for effect.

JOHNNY LIKE!
