The South African company Milkor, represented in Colombia by Kriegsgott Group SAS, showcased the capabilities of its SuperSix MRGL 40mm multiple grenade launcher at the Tolemaida Military Base. On March 12, officers, non-commissioned officers, and special units of the Colombian Army conducted live-fire tests with the latest variant of Milkor’s 40mm multiple grenade launcher series. Additionally, the SuperSix’s firing capacity, effective range, and reloading mechanism could enhance the Colombian infantry firepower compared to the US grenade launchers currently used by the Colombian Army.
The SuperSix MRGL is a semi-automatic grenade launcher with a modular and ergonomic design, capable of firing six consecutive rounds in less than three seconds, depending on the operator. It can use both low-velocity ammunition (with an effective range of up to 400 meters) and medium-velocity ammunition (with an effective range of up to 800 meters), providing operational flexibility in both conventional and asymmetric combat scenarios. In addition to lethal projectiles, the weapon can fire low-lethality ammunition, including high-explosive, smoke, and blunt impact grenades. It meets MIL-STD-810G standards and NATO certification and is equipped with STANAG 4694 Picatinny rails and a standard MTG6 sight.
