40-mm one-time hand-grenade «Penal» developed in the late 1970s, Valery Nikolayevich Telesh. Hand grenade disposable "foam" is used in certain circumstances, replace the hand grenade (which, as is known, manages to throw the strength to 30-40 m). Externally, the "foam" and really reminds the student membership, However, VOG-25 allows you to throw on 100-300 m.
Grenade "foam" – is a thin-walled aluminum rifled barrel without sight, in the middle of which is the breech with a simple hammer mechanism. VOG-25 shot in front inserted (VOG-25 P) a shot with "cherry", the back is protivomassa – aluminum or plastic plate, are released, diminishing returns.
Drummer "foam" cocked advance and is on the check predohronitelnoy – yet again, like a hand grenade. The ends of the barrel closed easily breakable sealed lids.
Before the shot you just have to remove the safety pin, take in hand with the "pencil case" in the direction, so as not to catch yourself and the neighbors of the emerging protivomassoy, send it to the target, give in distance scale elevation and push the trigger lever. Special accuracy is not required, the main thing – This lethality fragments.
manufacturing grenade cost not much higher than the cost to manufacture the shot grenade launcher, but this launcher allows striking targets at a distance of 300 m.
"Foam" can be used for shooting not only grenade, but Garnet, filled with irritant CS or rubber bullets.
