Dyakonov rifle grenade launcher

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

It's very nice to see this little known weapon in the movie. 40.8-mm Dyakonov rifle grenade launcher (Russian: "ружейный гранатомёт Дьяконова") was designed in 1916 but due to Russian revolution and civil war it was put into service only in 1928 (in a slightly improved version) and was used by Red Army until 1942. Mysteriously Dyakonov launcher never was seen in Soviet war movies. I suggest that the launcher seen in this film is a modern replica but it looks very good.

Thanks for giving some info about this device, I first thought it was some kind of silencer. What I like about this configuration is the height-adjustable bipod (like for cameras) that probably serves as some kind of aiming device, PeeWee055 (talk) 04:17, 6 December 2013 (EST)

A lot of images and scans from the service manual can be seen here. Greg-Z (talk) 04:36, 6 December 2013 (EST)

Ah, this is so beautiful. These manuals are a piece of art. Thanks for sharing, PeeWee055 (talk) 04:54, 6 December 2013 (EST)
