M79 is a single-shot, shoulder-fire, break-action grenade launcher developed by Springfield Armory. It was the first weapon of its type ever produced. To keep recoil forces low, it is chambered to fire 40 x 46 mm rounds, usually known as the High-Low Propulsion System. It saw its first action in Vietnam War. It quickly became so popular among the American soldiers that it earned multiple nicknames, such as “Thumper,” “Thump-Gun,” “Bloop Tube,” “Big Ed,” “Elephant Gun,” and “Blooper,” as well as “Can Cannon” in reference to the grenade size; Australian units referred to it as the “Wombat Gun.”
I'ts simplicity, handy size and weight made it a popular choice when troops needed extra firepower, and it was dubbed the “platoon leader’s artillery.”
