The MM-1 is a semi-automatic grenade launcher from the US company Hawk Engineering Co. It can be operated by one person in almost any shooting position and fires all common grenades in the 40 × 46 mm caliber , which means it can be used in a variety of ways. Thanks to its 12-round magazine , you can fire several grenades of various types, for example a flare grenade and two fragmentation grenades for fighting infantry at night, in quick succession. However, the MM-1 can only be used as a secondary weapon, as it can only be used at medium distances. The Bundeswehr used as weapons similar to the rifle G36 attached AG36 or the grenade gun , a variant of the einschüssigen HK69 grenade launcher with drop barrel.
