Despite an initial order of 10,500 units in 1966, field reports led to its removal from combat use in 1967, being replaced by the M79 and later the M203.

This video explores the Vietnam-era Mk18 Mod0 hand-crank grenade launcher, a pioneering weapon developed by Honeywell in 1962.

The video details its operation, its unusual breech design with rotating spindles, and its limited effective range which led to its primary use by the US Navy on riverine patrol boats, where its high volume of firepower was an asset.
