He’s in the don’t get mad get even mode !!.....:o)

The LAW he’s packing looks to be a PG-18 or PG-22 version. The grenade launcher on the AK looks like a BG-15 maybe ?!?!?

Pg-18 Mukha [*Fly*] I think. The PG-22 has a larger diameter tube.

What I learned to call GP-30 *Obuvka*, which is the launcher designition [means *shoe*, and you're using the prototype designation, Russian equivalent of *XM*.

The earlier GP-25 is called Kostyor [*campfire*] The ammo is not interchangable between the two, and looks nothing like the US M79/M203 40mm grenade launcher ammo. GP is abbreviation for Granatomyot Podstvolnyj or under-barrel grenade. The little VOG-25 grenades are neat little gems inside; the VOG-30s are similar but have a longer bullet-shaped nose, maybe for HEDP HEAT effect.
