I have been searching for over an hour now and cannot find the answer to a question that I have been very curious about. I was wondering what actually propels a grenade when it is fired from a YUGO M70?
I understand that the gas-tube needs to be cutoff and the grenade attachment attached to the barrel of the rifle, but what I cannot understand is the actual action that fires the grenade from the rifle.
When a regular round is fired, it is the result of the firing pin hitting the round causing a fire/explosion etc which propels the bullet while the gases enter the gas tube which pushes back the piston to chamber another round to begin the whole process again. BUT, where does the forces originate to power a grenade from the rifle?
Please accept my apologies in advance if this is a rather stupid question but I am very curious to understand how this works. THANKS!!!
