This video details the Modello 1928 Tromboncino, an Italian rifle-mounted grenade launcher adopted in 1928. The design ingeniously used standard ball ammunition, firing the bullet into a plug within the grenade cup, causing the case to burst and launch the grenade via escaping gas. While clever in its use of existing ammunition, the Tromboncino was hampered by ineffective concussion-type grenades, limiting its tactical utility. Most of these unique weapons were decommissioned by the mid-1930s.
