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.

(WOW!! Now that's a 6-PAK!)

Hmmphft. Talk about a let-down. That's not exactly what I was expecting.

[Travis McGee]

Oh, YEAH!!!

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.

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

I swear I saw one of these in an old Chuck Norris movie. Really.

[Southack]

That'll work. Now, give me 3 of those 6 grenade rounds equipped with proximity sensors.

[American Vet Repairman]

It needs an optional flechette round for Kevlar wearing terrorists.

[Billthedrill]

I need one. Does it come in other colors?

“I think it’s one of the most simple and effective weapons systems,” he said. “I just want buckshot rounds.”

A 40mm sawed off shotgun would have the tendency to clear the ether of a whole lot of bad guys in a really short time. And with a really big boom. Again and again and again....

[Desron13]

Oh Yaaasss!!! I want one!

[1rudeboy]

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a M-32, the most powerful grenade launcher in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky?....Well, do ya punk?

[SquirrelKing]

Much more cowbell:

[ChristianDefender]

I just thought this could be a good anti-riot weapon for muzzies protesting about cartoons..

[King Prout]

"experimental 40mm grenade launcher"?

EXPERIMENTAL???

waitaminnithere... I've seen these things in action movies since at least "Predator"

they were not real until now?
or they are foreign, and only now at long last entering US issue?
