B&#038;T had actually already been working on a less-lethal projectile system, which they call SIR (Safe Impact Round). It is a rubber projectile with a hard plastic base and driving band, fired from a hard plastic case using a 9mm blank cartridge. What makes this ammunition noteworthy is that it is reloadable &#8211; projectiles fired in training can be gathered up and reloaded into their original cases, dramatically reducing ammunition cost (or conversely, allowing agencies to do a lot more training on the same ammunition budget).<\/p>\n<p>The launcher is very simple, just a break-open single barrel system. There is no extractor or ejector; empty cases are just plucked out by hand (the plastic case does not expand when fired). It uses a heavy double action trigger licensed from H&#038;K&#8217;s under barrel grenade launcher, and it is capable of firing 40mm high-low rounds (M79 type ammunition). It won the French tender it was designed for, and has been picked up by a number of other law enforcement and military agencies since.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices:weaponsandwar.tv The B&#038;T GL06 (Grenade Launcher 2006) was developed in response to a French tender for a riot-control less-lethal weapon in 2006.
