Chinese SKS Grenade Launcher
The launcher was produced at Arsenal /66\ factory 626 in BeiAn, Hailongjiang Province. The launcher saw small troop trials, most notably in the 1969 Damanskii Island conflict with Russia. The complaints from the troops were:
1. Too heavy.
2. Too short a range.
3. Too complicated, and
4. Too powerful recoil.
The Type 67 Anti-Tank rifle grenade (HEAT) was 412mm long, 800g, 70mm in diameter, penetration 170mm in 30 degree angle, max range 50m, velocity 42m/s. It fired a special blank cartridge.
