- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what weapon systems the L123A2 underslung grenade launcher is compatible with, other than the L85A2/3.
- Answer
-
I can confirm that the L123A2 Underslung Grenade Launcher (UGL) is no longer in service within the British Army and was replaced by the L123A3 UGL. The L123A3 UGL is only compatible with the British Army’s L85 rifle family and is due to go out of service in 2030.
