This video showcases the rare China Lake 40mm pump-action grenade launcher, a unique weapon used by US special forces during the Vietnam War. Details are provided on its limited production (only 24 made), its intended role as an ambush initiation weapon, and its distribution among MACVSOG, Army Force Recon, and Navy SEALs. The video highlights the rarity of surviving original examples and discusses a 2004 reproduction project that, while unsuccessful, led to interesting developments with Airtronic and the US Marine Corps. Special thanks are given to contributors who made the video possible.
