This video details the history and development of Airtronic's modernized China Lake 40mm grenade launcher. The project aimed to reproduce the Vietnam-era weapon, leading to a prototype displayed at SHOT Show. Airtronic, a contractor for M203 launchers, became involved, intending to mass-produce a modernized version for the USMC. Modifications included Picatinny rails and AR-pattern furniture. However, a more ambitious plan to adapt it for Mk19 grenades proved infeasible. Legal disputes between the original enthusiasts and Airtronic ultimately halted production, with Airtronic declaring bankruptcy. The presented prototype is the sole surviving example. The USMC eventually adopted the Milkor MGL-140 as the M32A1.
