Underslung Grenade Launcher
From Airsoft Community Wiki
An Underslung Grenade Launcher is a short-barreled weapon accessory that fits under the barrel of an assault rifle, and fires grenade shells (usually 40mm). The most popular is the M203 UGL for the Armalite M4/M16 family of weapons, however there are many other UGLs avaliable, including ones for the SA80 and AK47/74 families of weapons.

Types of Shells
Most shells that can be bought for UGLs are of the gas type. These use compressed gas (like used in Gas Blowback pistols) to fire a large number of rounds over a large area. Capacities range from 50 rounds to 204 rounds. There are also shells that eject a time-delayed fragmentation grenade.
