Often Missidentified with the latter EX-41 Launcher. the China Lake Launcher was used in limited numbers by US Navy SEAL Teams, Marine Force Recon and the 5th Special Forces Group. After the Vietnam war there are currently only four complete origional weapons left in existance, One at the UDT/Seal Museam, one in a Vietnamese war museam, one in the hands of the ATF Technologies branch(although it could be a modern copy) and the last known origional China Lake Launcher was owned by Brian Fauci of Canal Side Guns, who make a knock off of the weapon under the name of "The Ultimate M79". A company called Airtronic has started manufacture of the China Lake launcher and a modernized model with a retractable M4 Carbine type stock, Pistol Grips and Picatinny Rails.
