In a grenade launcher: attachment means for removably attaching said launcher to a gun barrel, enclosed pressure chamber means for receiving propellant gas under pressure from the muzzle of said gun barrel when said launcher is actuated, elongate tubular means for guiding the initial movement path of a grenade upon the launching of said grenade, a breakable thrust-transmitting carrier contacting a force transmitting means for imparting thrust to a grenade, a grenade releasably nestled in said thrust-transmitting carrier, laterally translatable force transmitting means contained within said tubular means and communicating with said chamber means, for transmitting force from said propellant gas to said thrust-transmitting carrier, said thrust-transmitting carrier being adapted to accelerate continuously when said launcher is actuated and exit from said tubular means with said grenade nestled therewithin and thereafter to separate from said grenade so that said grenade continues its trajectory toward a target, and arresting means within said tubular means for arresting lateral translation of said force-transmitting means to prevent said force-transmitting means from exiting said tubular means when said grenade is launched.
