It was a powerful weapon and was dubbed “the platoon leader’s artillery” with an accuracy rate of about 150 yards. The 40 x 46mm grenades of the M79 was developed exclusively for the shoulder fired weapon and is discharged by low pressure gas. The M79 also uses an aluminum alloy barrel to lighten its weight.
