So, how does it feel? It feels like shooting fish in a barrel. The stock folds for added convenience and, like a revolver, the M32’s drop safe. The M32 MGL also has a free-floated barrel surrounded by a rail system, to which the user can mount lights, lasers, thermal imagers, GPS locators, etc.
Like the safety on a KRISS carbine, operating the safety with your thumb WITHOUT moving your hand off the fire controls is a tricky. The forward vertical grip makes aiming this gun easy. The M32’s buttpad is fully adjustable for length of pull as well as the angle of the stock. The grip is made from a soft and squishy rubber (not official military term). The MilKor M32 MGL grenade launcher’s ergonomics are fantastic. You use a compass on the side of the sight to dial in the proper distance-without the need for a ranging shot. You change the sight’s elevation depending on the distance to the target (duh). The aiming system: a red dot sight in an adjustable mount. That same hook doubles as an ejector plunger shoving it backwards will eject the spent cartridges. The entire front of the gun swings forward, exposing the chambers. The user simply pulls the hook forward, unlocking the cylinder. A hook that drops down in front of the cylinder, behind the vertical grip. Resistance in the pull increases before the “break” of the shot.
The MilKor M32 MGL’s go-pedal was designed as a kind of two-stage affair. The lack of a recoil or gas operated action means that there is no method for resetting a single action trigger, so double action it is.
As the gun fires, the spring advances the cylinder to the next unfired chamber. To load the M32, the user spins the entire cylinder 360 degrees, placing tension on a spring. The MilKor M32’s is a manually-charged semi-automatic weapon. Unlike standard revolvers, the M32 places a metal covering over the front of the non-firing chambers, keeping the expanding gases off the shooter’s forward hand. The barrel consists of a 11.8 inch tube with internal rifling. The rotating cylinder acts like the cylinder in a revolver, holding six rounds of 40mm ammunition. The projectiles can be loaded with anything from chalk (like the practice rounds MilKor handed me) to high explosives to a Taser. The USMC has designated the weapon as the M32A1.The M32 fires 40mm grenades. It has a 8" barrel and 140mm long cylinder. The Mark 14 is a special variant of the MGL Mk 1L, developed for the USSOCOM.
