Automatic grenade launchers

Finland is testing two automatic grenadelaunchers in field trials at this point (august 2003), or "grenade machineguns" as they are designated in Finland. On the left GMG from german Heckler & Koch. On the right is the CIS AGL från Singapore. The winner of these two will be used mainly by the readiness brigades, both groundmounted and in a remotely controlled turret on some of the ordered Patria 8x8 AMV instead of the 12.7 mm ItKK, and possibly also some of the Patria XA-203´s and other vehicle mounts.
