Abstract
An adapter for use with a rifle mountable grenade launcher unit to form a stand alone hand held grenade launcher. The adapter includes a rod to be inserted into a rifle barrel receiving hole of grenade launcher unit and a recoil surface that can be located, at least partially, behind the barrel bore of the grenade launcher unit. The recoil surface intersects the center axis of the grenade launcher unit barrel bore such that recoil after firing can be absorbed in line with the barrel bore to thereby minimize muzzle climb.
