The Bundeswehr is equipping more vehicles with grenade machine guns type GMW 40 mm x 53 NATO from Heckler & Koch. The grenade machine guns (GMW) are to be integrated into the remote-controlled weapon station FLW200 - HERE you can find all information about the KMW weapon station. Delivery of the over 4 million euro contract will take place in 2021, the contract was awarded to HK at the end of September 2019. The automatic 40 mm support weapon is primarily intended for the self-protection of reconnaissance vehicles, but in case of emergency, due to its high effectiveness and coverage, it has the necessary combat power to protect the soldiers.
The grenade machine gun from Heckler & Koch is still considered the most reliable and versatile machine gun available on the market in caliber 40 mm x 53 NATO. One of the main reasons why many NATO allies such as Canada, France, New Zealand, Norway, the United Kingdom, and others have opted for the GMW from Heckler & Koch. In terms of deployment tactics, they follow the path of the Bundeswehr, using them either as vehicle weapons or as stationary support weapons.
The 40 millimeter grenade machine gun is an automatic support weapon from Heckler & Koch. It is used against light and unarmored targets. Tactically, it serves the purpose of securing camps and objects in dismounted combat, and in mobile operations it provides passive protection for vehicle crews and counteroffensive capabilities. The vertical swivel range of the grenade machine gun also allows it to engage at long distances in indirect fire. HERE you can find all information about the grenade machine guns from HK.
