Spigot-Type Grenade Launchers

Functional Spigot-Type Grenade Launcher Systems

Explore military spigot-type launchers that use a projecting rod or spigot to support and launch a compatible projectile. Unlike a conventional firearm barrel that surrounds the projectile, the spigot extends into the projectile or its tail assembly. This operating principle was used in several rifle-grenade, mortar, and anti-armor weapon designs.

Select from subcategories covering the U.S. M7 Rifle Grenade System, German Granatenwerfer 16, and British PIAT Bomb Thrower. Each system uses model-specific projectiles, cartridges, components, and operating methods that are not universally interchangeable.
