QLZ-87

The QLZ-87 is a Chinese 35mm automatic grenade launcher, typically employed as a lightweight squad support weapon. It can be fired from a bipod, tripod, or vehicle mount and feeds from a 6- or 15-round magazine. Chambered for a unique 35x32mm SR cartridge, it fires high-explosive (HE) and other grenades at a high rate of fire, providing infantry squads with substantial area suppression and light anti-material capability against unarmored vehicles or personnel in the open. Its design emphasizes portability and rapid deployment for fire support in offensive and defensive operations.
