Pada tahun 2004, Angkatan Darat mengumumkan persyaratan untuk peluncur granat 40&nbsp;mm [[komersial siap pakai]]. Senjata tersebut harus lebih andal, ergonomis, akurat, dan lebih aman dibandingkan M203. Pesawat ini harus mampu menembakkan seluruh granat berkecepatan rendah berukuran 40&nbsp;mm namun dapat dimuat dari bagian sungsang untuk menerima proyektil yang lebih panjang di masa depan.

== History ==
In 2004, the Army announced a requirement for a [[commercial off-the-shelf]] 40&nbsp;mm grenade launcher. It had to be more reliable, ergonomic, accurate, and safer than the M203. It had to be able to fire all 40&nbsp;mm low-velocity grenades but be loaded from the breech to accept future longer projectiles. [[Heckler & Koch]]'s submission was selected in May 2005.<ref name="sadj">[http://sadefensejournal.com/wp/?p=533&page=2 History of the Heckler & Koch 40mm Grenade Launcher] – SAdefensejournal.com, 24 August 2011</ref>

After the U.S. Army at [[Picatinny Arsenal]] conducted a competitive bidding process for a new 40&nbsp;mm grenade launching system, Heckler & Koch was awarded a contract to provide the XM320 beginning in 2006. The M320 was developed from but is not identical to the [[Heckler & Koch AG36]] (a key distinguishing feature being the addition of a folding foregrip ahead of the trigger for use when the weapon is in stand-alone configuration, a feature the AG36 lacks).<ref name="MODFIR">{{cite web|title=AG36 / AG-C / EGLM / XM320 grenade launcher|url=http://world.guns.ru/grenade/gl17-e.htm|publisher=Modern Firearms|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120603121421/http://world.guns.ru/grenade/de/hk-ag36-ag-c-e.html|archive-date=3 June 2012|access-date=14 July 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Heckler & Koch M320 GLM (HK AG36) 40mm Single-Shot Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL) (2010)">{{cite web|title=Heckler & Koch M320 GLM (HK AG36) 40mm Single-Shot Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL) (2010)|url=http://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=329|work=MilitaryFactory}}</ref> The M320 entered production in November 2008.

== Overview ==
* Penglihatan Siang/Malam memungkinkan grenadier menyerang musuh secara efektif dalam kegelapan.
The M320 has three major parts: a grenade launcher with rifled barrel, Day/Night Sight (DNS) produced by [[Insight Technology]], Inc and a hand held Laser Range Finder (LRF). Some of the benefits are:
 
[[Berkas:PEO_M320_on_M4_Carbine.jpg|kiri|jmpl|The M320 with electronicdengan targetingsistem systempenargetan mountedelektronik ondipasang thepada [[M4 Carbine|M4 carbine]].]]
* The M320 can be used in two ways. It can be attached to the [[M16 rifle|M16]] [[assault rifle]], [[CAR-15|CAR-15 carbine]], [[M4 carbine]], [[Heckler & Koch HK416|HK416]], or other types of rifles, attaching under the [[Barrel (firearms)|barrel]] forward of the [[Magazine (firearms)|magazine]], or it can be used dismounted with a stock attached as a stand-alone model.<ref name="Heckler & Koch M320 GLM (HK AG36) 40mm Single-Shot Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL) (2010)" /> A grenadier carrying an M320 with an M4 and three dozen 40&nbsp;mm grenades will have a total weapon load of 38&nbsp;lb (17&nbsp;kg).
M320 didasarkan pada [[Heckler & Koch AG-C/GLM|Heckler & Koch AG-C]] sebelumnya, tetapi dengan beberapa modifikasi khusus Angkatan Darat. Ini mencakup pegangan depan yang dapat dilipat dan laras yang lebih pendek untuk paket yang lebih kompak. [[pemandangan]] harus dikonfigurasi ulang untuk menembak secara akurat dengan balistik yang sedikit berbeda dari panjang laras yang lebih pendek. Sistem ini seharusnya lebih ringan dari M203 (sebenarnya sedikit lebih berat) dan tidak memerlukan perangkat keras pemasangan khusus. Pemuatan sungsang memungkinkan grenadier memuat cangkang sambil menjaga pandangan tetap tepat sasaran.<ref name="sadj" /> Beratnya {{convert|3.57|lb|kg|abbr=on}} dalam konfigurasi dasarnya, {{convert|3.89|lb|kg|abbr=on}} dengan LRF dan penglihatan elektronik, dan {{convert|4.8 |lb|kg|abbr=on}} dengan stok terlampir.<ref name="tfb5dec08" /> Pemandangan pada M320 terletak di samping peluncur, menghindari masalah yang dimiliki M203 dengan desain penglihatannya, yang dipasang di atas peluncur dan dapat mengganggu pemandangan senapan, sehingga harus dipasang secara terpisah. Ini berarti dua operasi terpisah harus dilakukan ketika menambahkan peluncur granat ke senjata, dan karena pemandangan tersebut bukan merupakan bagian integral dari M203, pemandangan tersebut harus di-zerokan kembali setiap kali peluncur dipasang kembali ke senapan. LRF membantu menghilangkan kesalahan estimasi jangkauan yang umum terjadi pada tembakan yang lebih besar dari 100 meter, sehingga meningkatkan kemungkinan terjadinya tembakan pada putaran pertama.
* The Day/Night Sight allows the grenadier to effectively engage the enemy in the dark.
 
M320 dapat menembakkan semua [[bahan peledak tinggi]], [[Granat asap|asap]] NATO, dan granat penerangan. Sungsangnya terbuka ke samping, memungkinkannya menembakkan berbagai peluru baru yang lebih panjang, khususnya peluru [[Senjata tidak mematikan|tidak mematikan]] tertentu, seperti "dampak tepat" dari Laboratorium Federal (nama merek) tongkat spons yang tidak mematikan atau [[granat spons]].<ref name="Heckler & Koch M320 GLM (HK AG36) 40mm Single-Shot Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL) (2010)" /> M320 beroperasi dalam mode [[Pemicu (senjata api)#Aksi ganda|aksi ganda]], dengan [[Keselamatan (senjata api)|keselamatan]] yang ambidextrous. Jika terjadi misfire, operator M320 tinggal menarik pelatuknya lagi. M203 menggunakan mode [[aksi tunggal]], yang mengokang senjata saat laras dibuka. Operator M203 harus membuka laras dengan membuka kuncinya dan mendorong ke depan untuk mengokang senjatanya lalu menutup kembali larasnya, lalu menarik pelatuknya kembali. Masalahnya, dalam membuka laras, granat didesain untuk melontarkan dan operator harus memastikan agar tidak jatuh ke tanah.
[[Berkas:PEO_M320_on_M4_Carbine.jpg|kiri|jmpl|The M320 with electronic targeting system mounted on the [[M4 Carbine|M4 carbine]].]]
The M320 is based on the earlier [[Heckler & Koch AG-C/GLM|Heckler & Koch AG-C]], but with some Army-specific modifications. It includes a folding foregrip and shorter barrel for a more compact package. The [[sights]] had to be reconfigured to shoot accurately with the slightly different ballistics from the shorter barrel length. The system was supposed to be lighter than the M203 (it is actually slightly heavier) and does not require specific mounting hardware. Breech loading allows the grenadier to load a shell while keeping the sight on target.<ref name="sadj" /> It weighs {{convert|3.57|lb|kg|abbr=on}} in its base configuration, {{convert|3.89|lb|kg|abbr=on}} with the LRF and electronic sight, and {{convert|4.8|lb|kg|abbr=on}} with the stock attached.<ref name="tfb5dec08" /> The sights on the M320 are located to the side of the launcher, avoiding the problems that the M203 had with its sight design, which were mounted on top of the launcher and could interfere with the rifle's sights, so they had to be attached separately. This meant two separate operations had to be performed when adding the grenade launcher to the weapon, and since the sights were not integral to the M203, they had to be re-zeroed every time the launcher was reattached to the rifle. The LRF helps eliminate range estimation errors common in shots greater than 100 meters, thus increasing first round hit probability.
 
M320 adalah salah satu dari dua peluncur granat 40&nbsp;mm yang mampu menembakkan [[Pike (munisi)|Pike Missile]] (dikembangkan oleh [[Raytheon]]) tanpa modifikasi—yang lainnya adalah [[FN SCAR#Modul Peluncur Granat yang Ditingkatkan|FN EGLM]] (Modul Peluncuran Granat yang Ditingkatkan) dikembangkan untuk [[FN SCAR]].
The M320 can fire all NATO [[high-explosive]], [[Smoke grenade|smoke]], and illumination grenades. Its breech opens to the side, allowing it to fire a variety of newer rounds which are longer, in particular certain [[Non-lethal weapon|non-lethal]] rounds, such as Federal Laboratories' "exact impact" (brand name) non-lethal sponge batons or [[Sponge grenade|sponge grenades]].<ref name="Heckler & Koch M320 GLM (HK AG36) 40mm Single-Shot Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher (UBGL) (2010)" /> The M320 operates in [[Trigger (firearms)#Double action|double-action]] mode, with an ambidextrous [[Safety (firearms)|safety]]. In case of misfire, the M320 operator merely has to pull the trigger again. The M203 used a [[single-action]] mode, which cocks the weapon as the barrel is opened. The M203 operator has to open the barrel by unlocking it and pushing forward to cock the weapon and then re-close the barrel, then pull the trigger again. The problem with this is that in opening the barrel, the grenade is designed to eject and the operator must ensure that it does not fall to the ground.
Meskipun demikian, pengenalan senjata tersebut bukannya tanpa kritik:
 
* Para prajurit mengeluhkan peralihan dari M203 yang sederhana dan lebih ramping ke senjata yang dilengkapi alat tambahan yang lebih canggih (walaupun hal ini dapat dikaitkan dengan perubahan dari sistem yang sudah lama “teruji dan benar” ke sistem yang baru). Keluhan berkisar dari pegangan ke depan dan sistem penglihatan, pegangan pistol yang menangkap benda, dan mekanisme pemuatan samping. Mereka bahkan mengkritik kemampuannya untuk bertindak sebagai peluncur yang berdiri sendiri, sebuah fitur yang disertakan sebagai respons terhadap perolehan kembali pasukan [[Perang Vietnam|Vietnam]]-era [[Peluncur granat M79]] yang konon memberikan akurasi lebih baik ketika ditembakkan dari bahu dibandingkan jika digantung di bawah senapan, meskipun popor yang dapat dilipat agak pendek untuk tugas tersebut.<ref>[http://kitup.military.com/2010/05/soldiers-perspective-the-m320-grenade-launcher.html Soldiers’ Perspective: The M320 Grenade Launcher] – Kitup.Military.com, 28 May 2010</ref>
The M320 is one of two 40&nbsp;mm grenade launchers capable of firing [[Pike (munition)|Pike Missile]] (developed by [[Raytheon]]) without modification—the other being the [[FN SCAR#Enhanced Grenade Launcher Module|FN EGLM]] (Enhanced Grenade Launching Module) developed for the [[FN SCAR]].
 
[[Berkas:Soldier_shooting_M320.jpg|ka|jmpl|200x200px|ASeorang U.S.prajurit ArmyAngkatan soldierDarat trainingAS withsedang anberlatih dengan M320 mountedyang ondipasang anpada M4karabin carbineM4]]
Nonetheless, the weapon's introduction was not without criticism:
 
* M320 memiliki kemampuan menembak terlepas dari senapan. Para prajurit melaporkan adanya kesulitan saat melepasnya, karena gendongan satu titiknya tidak dapat menahannya dengan aman. Membawa dengan gendongan akan menyebabkannya terpental dan terkadang terseret melalui tanah. Para prajurit ingin membawa M320 di dalam [[sarung]] untuk memberikan perlindungan, bukan hanya menaruhnya di ransel mereka. [[Pusat Sistem Prajurit Angkatan Darat Amerika Serikat|Pusat Sistem Prajurit Natick]] memulai Program Peningkatan Prajurit Holster (SEP) M320GL pada bulan November 2012. Tiga vendor komersial masing-masing memproduksi 167 sarung. SEP menggunakan konsep "beli-coba-putuskan", yang memungkinkan Angkatan Darat menguji fungsionalitas peralatan tanpa menghabiskan banyak waktu untuk penelitian dan pengembangan. Prajurit dari [[Resimen Ranger ke-75]] diberikan selusin sarung dan menjalani tes standar pada pertengahan Mei 2013, setelah itu mereka mengisi survei. Langkah selanjutnya adalah mengujinya dengan seluruh [[brigade]]. Pada Juli 2013, sarung tersebut sedang dievaluasi oleh tentara di Afghanistan. Pejabat proyek harus membuat rekomendasi kepada [[Fort Benning]] pada awal tahun fiskal 2014.<ref>[http://www.army.mil/article/107396/Natick_develops_holster_for_M320_grenade_launcher/ Natick develops holster for M320 grenade launcher] – Army.mil, 25 July 2013</ref>
* Soldiers complained about switching from the simple, more streamlined M203 to one with more sophisticated attachments (although this could be attributed simply to the change from a long-standing "tried and true" system to a new one). Complaints ranged from the forward grip and sighting system, the pistol grip handle catching on things, and the side loading mechanism. They even criticized its ability to act as a stand-alone launcher, a feature included in response to troops re-acquiring [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]]-era [[M79 grenade launcher|M79 grenade launchers]] that supposedly gave better accuracy when fired from the shoulder than if slung under a rifle, although the collapsible stock is somewhat short for the task.<ref>[http://kitup.military.com/2010/05/soldiers-perspective-the-m320-grenade-launcher.html Soldiers’ Perspective: The M320 Grenade Launcher] – Kitup.Military.com, 28 May 2010</ref>

* The M320 has the ability to fire detached from a rifle. Soldiers have reported difficulties carrying it unmounted, as its one-point sling does not hold it securely. Carrying by the sling would cause it to bounce around and sometimes be dragged through dirt. Soldiers wanted to carry the M320 in a [[holster]] to provide protection, rather than just putting it in their rucksack. The [[United States Army Soldier Systems Center|Natick Soldier Systems Center]] began the M320GL Holster Soldier Enhancement Program (SEP) in November 2012. Three commercial vendors produced 167 holsters each. The SEP used the "buy-try-decide" concept, which allows the Army to test the functionality of equipment without spending much time on research and development. Soldiers from the [[75th Ranger Regiment]] were given a dozen holsters and went through standardized tests in mid-May 2013, after which they filled out surveys. The next step was to test them with an entire [[brigade]]. As of July 2013, the holsters were being evaluated by soldiers in Afghanistan. Project officials were to make a recommendation to [[Fort Benning]] by the beginning of fiscal year 2014.<ref>[http://www.army.mil/article/107396/Natick_develops_holster_for_M320_grenade_launcher/ Natick develops holster for M320 grenade launcher] – Army.mil, 25 July 2013</ref>{{update|date=January 2022}}
