Unmatched Versatility for Tactical Escalation
The HK GLM (widely adopted by the US Military as the M320) sets the global standard for 40mm launcher systems. Designed to eliminate the operational shortcomings of legacy tube-loaded launchers, the GLM provides operators with a reliable, safe, and highly adaptable platform for delivering both lethal and less-lethal 40x46mm munitions. As an authorized government provider, PAI Defense ensures that these mission-critical, regulated systems are delivered with the highest level of compliance, auditing, and administrative precision required for state and federal procurement.
Advanced Technical Architecture
-
Ambidextrous Side-Opening Breech: Unlike older pump-style or forward-sliding launchers, the GLM features a side-opening breech that swings out to the left or right. This critical design allows operators to rapidly load and extract extra-long specialized munitions, such as modern riot batons, tear gas canisters, and illumination rounds.
-
Double-Action Only (DAO) Trigger: Equipped with a DAO trigger mechanism, enhancing operational safety by preventing accidental discharges while providing immediate second-strike capability in the event of a hard primer.
-
Dual-Configuration Modularity: Can be rapidly attached to the MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail of a host weapon (Under-Barrel configuration) or attached to a dedicated retractable stock assembly to function as a highly maneuverable Stand-Alone weapon system.
-
Advanced Sighting Systems: Features a highly visible, side-mounted folding leaf sight that does not interfere with the host weapon’s primary optics, ensuring accurate ballistic trajectories for various munition types.
