The Modern Standard for 40mm Tactical Deployment
The HK HK169 is the highly anticipated successor to the legendary HK69 platform, designed to meet the evolving needs of modern law enforcement and military grenadiers. Built utilizing advanced polymers and aerospace-grade aluminum, the HK169 provides a lightweight, highly maneuverable platform that excels in both lethal and less-lethal operational profiles. 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
-
Side-Opening Breech: Unlike traditional under-barrel or break-action launchers that are restricted by length, the HK169 features a side-opening breech. This allows operators to easily load and extract extra-long munitions, such as modern less-lethal riot control batons, CS gas canisters, and specialized illumination rounds.
-
Double-Action Only (DAO) Trigger: Equipped with a DAO trigger mechanism, enhancing operational safety while providing immediate second-strike capability in the event of a hard primer—a critical feature during high-stress riot or entry scenarios.
-
Tactical Modularity: Integrates the proven side-folding polymer stock from the G36 rifle, allowing the launcher to be compacted for discrete transport or storage in patrol vehicle racks.
-
Optics & Accessory Ready: Features MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails on the top and bottom, facilitating the rapid mounting of specialized grenade launcher sights, red dot optics, and forward grips for enhanced control.
