40 Kranaattipistooli 2002 (HK69A1)

This "grenade pistol" has recently been bought to add firepower to the squads, mainly in the readiness brigades since these doesn´t use personell landmines. The purpose of the weapon is that a ordinay rifleman (of course also equipped with his assault rifle) can engage targets that are too far away for handgrenades. And the weapon is also due to the sight accurate, simple (and as all H&K weapons robust) and easy to learn to use. And since it is not attached to a assault rifle such as the american M203 it can be used by all soldiers which is practical during a patrol, in a checkpoint and so on.
