When it comes to battlefield problem solvers, the 40mm grenade launcher has been the go-to for decades. Unlike other military weapons, grenade launchers have undergone few technological advances. That changed recently, however, when Wilcox Industries launched the groundbreaking MINI-GL40 Grenade Launcher.
MINI-GL40 Grenade Launcher – Next Level Battlefield Weapon
The MINI-GL40 Grenade Launcher Platform is a fully modernized and durable 40mm standalone system. It is engineered for the evolving needs of today’s grenadier. The MINI-GL40 offers a significant advancement over traditional grenade launchers. It combines durability, ergonomics, integrated fire control technology, and mission-adaptive performance in a single, lightweight package.

Re-Engineered for Modern Combat Requirements
At the core of the MINI-GL40 is a unique steel-lined barrel. This design eliminates the accelerated wear commonly seen with aluminum-barreled launchers, especially with breaching rounds. Operators can confidently fire any length of low-velocity 40mm round, without compromising barrel life or system reliability. Wilcox also introduced a streamlined receiver, improved breach-opening controls, and redesigned ambidextrous safety selector switches. The result is enhanced ergonomics and reduced overall weight.
Integrated RAAM GSS M Fire Control System
Every MINI-GL40 comes equipped with the Wilcox Rapid Acquisition Aiming Module – Grenadier Sighting System (RAAM GSS M). This is an advanced fire control suite. It has a built-in ballistic computer and environmental sensors, user-selectable ballistic tables, and a two-position quick-select switch. It also provides automatic POA/POI adjustment based on ammunition type and target distance. Day/Night capability includes VIS laser, NIR aiming laser, and NIR illuminator. An easy-to-read OLED display offers accurate ranging and impact prediction.

This integration dramatically increases hit probability day or night, even in complex combat conditions. It reduces loadout requirements and eliminates reliance on multiple external accessories. These accessories typically add weight, cables, and additional failure points. The MINI-GL40 is sold as a complete system. Wilcox will retrofit the RAAM GSS to previously purchased units at no cost.

A New Standard in Grenadier Capability
By consolidating what once required many accessories, optics, lasers, switches, and power sources into one cohesive platform, the MINI-GL40 gives operators more capability with fewer components. This reduces weight, complexity, and potential failure points. It also enhances fleet readiness and ensures operators can focus on the mission!
