The '''Heckler & Koch AG36''' (''Anbaugranatwerfer 36''; "attached grenade launcher 36" with the 36 denoting it was designed for the [[G36]]) is a 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher developed by Heckler & Koch. The basic '''AG36''' replaces the host rifle's handguard, while the later '''AG-C''' (also known as '''GLM''' or '''EGLM''', not to be confused with the [[FN EGLM]]) is designed to attach to an underbarrel rail. The British military uses the AG36 as the "L123A2 UGL" on the [[Enfield L85 rifle series#L85A2|L85A2]] and the AG-C as the "L17A1 UGL" on the L119A1 carbine (the British name for the [[M16 rifle series#Diemaco/Colt Canada C8 Carbine|Diemaco C8]]).

The AG-C is the basis of the US military's [[Heckler & Koch M320]], and is hard to distinguish from the early ''XM320'' version of this launcher. Modern versions of the AG-C have an underbarrel rail used for mounting a front grip, while the M320 and some versions of the AG36 have a fixed front grip. The key difference between the latter two is the M320 mounts to a rail while the AG36 still uses a replacement handguard.
