M79 the “Thumper” grenade launcher - Jersey T-shirt
The M79 grenade launcher, often referred to as the "Thumper" due to its distinctive firing sound, is a single-shot, shoulder-fired, break-action grenade launcher that has been used by the United States military since its introduction in the early 1960s. Designed to bridge the gap between the maximum throwing distance of a hand grenade and the minimum range of mortar fire, the M79 can launch 40mm grenades at targets up to 400 meters away, providing infantry units with a powerful and flexible indirect fire capability. Its simplicity, reliability, and effectiveness made it a favored weapon during the Vietnam War, and it continues to see use in various forms around the world.
