	~~The [[GP-25]] is a [[grenade launcher]] made by the Soviet Union. If it was ever used in Vietnam, prototypes were used.~~
	~~=HISTORY=~~
	The development of a [[grenade launcher]] for the [[AKM]] [[assault rifle]] began in 1966 at the Central Design and Research Bureau of Sporting and Hunting Arms (TsKIB SOO). Development continued into the 1970s, and in 1978 it was accepted into service. The main production version was the GP-25. The GP-30 was made lighter and the aiming system was redesigned and moved to the right.

	GP grenade ~~launchers are similar in appearance~~ and ~~fire~~ the ~~same~~ Russian 40mm ~~caliber~~ ammunition~~. At the top of the barrel is the mounting hardware to attach the weapon to the underside of a rifle barrel~~, from ~~which it is designed to fire~~. ~~The~~ GP ~~barrel has~~ a ~~useful life of about 400 rounds~~.		'''GP-25''' is a Soviet 40mm underbarrel [[grenade launcher]] designed to mount to AK-pattern rifles such as the [[AKM]]. It is a muzzle-loading launcher that fires VOG-series 40mm grenades and uses a simple ladder-style sighting system. It is best known for being the standard Soviet/Russian underbarrel grenade launcher family in 40mm “caseless” ammunition, distinct from Western 40×46mm systems. In ''Military Conflict: Vietnam'', the GP-25 appears as a Zombie mode exclusive weapon.

	~~GP grenade launchers fire multiple 40mm VOG-25 high-explosive fragmentation grenades, with~~ a ~~total range of 400 meters and an effective range of 150m. These Russian~~-~~Soviet 40mm grenades are not compatible with Western 40x46mm grenades. Originally,~~ the ~~main grenade was~~ the ~~VOG-15 (7P17) fragmentation grenade~~, ~~which has a lethal radius of six meters. Ammunition for~~ the ~~muzzle~~-~~loading~~ GP-25 ~~consists of a single piece containing propellant and charge~~, ~~as opposed~~ to the ~~more traditional two~~-~~piece case~~ and ~~projectile design of comparable US 40x46mm ammunition used in breech-loading grenade launchers, such as~~ the ~~[[M203]]~~. ~~This integral "caseless" design - with~~ the ~~propellant~~ and ~~primer contained in the base of the grenade~~ - ~~provides for when the grenade is fired nothing is left in the barrel, so the operator can load the next grenade.~~		==HISTORY==
	~~<br>[https://en.wikipedia~~.~~org/wiki/GP-25 SOURCE]~~		Development of a rifle-mounted grenade launcher for the AK platform began in 1966 at TsKIB SOO and continued through the 1970s, culminating in the GP-25’s acceptance into Soviet service in 1978. The GP-25 became the main production model, with later refinements leading to the GP-30, which reduced weight and revised the aiming system. The launcher mounts under the rifle’s barrel via dedicated hardware and is intended to provide organic explosive capability to infantry at short-to-mid ranges.
	~~<hr>~~

			The GP-25 fires Soviet 40mm VOG-25 high-explosive fragmentation grenades (and related types) with a maximum range around 400 meters and a typical effective employment range around 150 meters. Its ammunition differs from Western 40×46mm grenades used in breech-loading systems like the [[M203]]: VOG-type rounds incorporate their propellant/primer in the base of the grenade so nothing is extracted after firing, allowing rapid reloading from the muzzle. The GP-25’s barrel life is commonly cited at roughly a few hundred rounds in service documentation and reference works.
