Zoaroaster Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just saw this on Youtube...GM-94...Tonkor clone? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dualstar Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) The potato gun type of grenade launcher has been around for decades, so im going to take a shot in the dark and say the Tonkor is based on those..

Djangofett Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 As Dualstar said. That thing has been around for longer than I can keep track of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABAL Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Are you serious? There is absolutely nothing in common between GM-94 and Tonkor.M79 on the other hand...Their appearance may not be all that similar, but their inner workings definitely are.The key difference is that Tonkor grenades are placed near the front end of the barrel, are inserted two at a time (probably because of their size) and somehow can be launched one after another (space magic anyone?),while M79 holds only one round in the rear end of the barrel.I may be contradicting myself, but I'm quite drunk and stressed right now.

Vance.Stubbs Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 somehow can be launched one after another (space magic anyone?), Probably operated by electricity, like Metal Storm 3GL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Grzegorz Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 somehow can be launched one after another (space magic anyone?), Metal Storm system, multiple projectiles per barrel, every single one is launched electrically, if I had to guess, uses caseless ammo. Just like Tonkor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABAL Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) I thought about it, but the grenade pellets are too small to put propellant inside or between them (even if thy have a huge explosion after being fired) and placed so close to one another that it is likely to cause early detonation. Not to mention that as they are placed right in the front, they don't have time to speed up if it uses magnetic force to launch them.

Zoaroaster Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yes guys grenade launchers have been around for a long time..And I am aware of the M79. The reason I draw a parallel with this GM-94 is it holds 4 charges and is pump action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I draw a parallel with this GM-94 is it holds 4 charges and is pump action. Break open grenade launchers are very cool. I LOVE my Tonkor. But then again, I got to fire a training round out of an M79 once and watched live fire. (from a bunker mind you!) Nothing says POWER quite like 'thoop- BOOM!' Well, except a Ma Deuce... and YES, I want a mounted .50 machine gun we can set up somewhere to defend areas.

Blackout751 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Wiki said that Tonkor resembles an M79 in function and appearance (which I can confirm), so yes there is a single-shot Tonkor in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
