1. Stocks – The GL06 comes with a fol-
ding stock (below). The optional telesco-
pic folding stock (top) has an additional
clamp-on cheek rest to add 12 mm in
case special scopes with a higher mount
are used. The optional non-foldable,
length adjustable M4 type stock (second
from top) is designed for those who are
used to M4 systems, while the optional
helmet stock (third from top) will allow to
use the GL06 while properly wearing a
ballistic face visor or a protective mask.
Vertical Foregrips – B&T offer a variety
of quick detachable vertical foregrips.
2.Carry Systems – As the operator
never knows the exact task ahead of
him, carrying a sufficient amount of
ammunition is crucial. Therefor B&T
offers a variety of ammunition carry-
ing systems for the GL06. Besides a
5 and 11 round drop leg carrier the-
re is a tactical vest holding up to 20
rounds available. A special „ready to
go“ backpack containing the laun-
cher, two 11 round carrier and a hy-
dration bladder is also offered. The
cartridges are easy to extract from all
devices, resulting in a high rate of fire.
3. Reloading Press – This accessory
is an absolute must when an agency
facing tight budgets wants to train
its operators at regular intervals but
does not want to cut the number of
training rounds fired. One can easily
reload the SIR/SIR-X cartridge in
a matter of seconds using a very
inexpensive 9 mm propulsion cart-
ridge. This brings the costs per round
fired down to less than 3 Euros, ma-
king the SIR/SIR-X munition by far
the most economically priced 40 mm
cartridge on the market.
The GL06 comes, ready to be deployed , complete with a Aimpoint Micro TL, a 1 or 2 point carrying sling and an
instruction manual. To customize the GL06 for special customer needs, a variety of accessories are available.
Accessories
Special Purpose 40 mm muntions by B&T
B&T provides a wide range of 40 mm munitions that includes the popular SIR (Safe Impact Round), SIR-X (Safe Impact
Round - extended range), rubber shot, muzzle blast OC, ballistic smoke, ballistic CS and muzzle blast CS (left to right).
Please note that SIR and SIR-X are available worldwide, while the other cartridges are only available in Switzerland.
Cost Effective Training System
Training will make the difference between having a successful mission or a disaster. This is just as true with less lethal sys-
tems as with any other type of weapons used by professionals. The trouble with most other 40 mm systems on the market is,
that the ammunition costs too much to train the entire unit and thus only certain people are actually profi cient. This problem
is solved by the B&T reloading system. It will enable any agency or unit of any size to ensure all personnel are trained on
the GL06 using SIR munitons at about 10% of what normal 40 mm training costs.
The concept is quite simple. The SIR cartridge is reloadable at least 30 times (reloaded cartridges should be used for
training only). It is actually very simple and easy to do, just recover the spent projectiles downrange, eject the propulsion
cartridge using the B&T designed reloading press, reload the 40 mm cartridge with the inexpensive 9 mm blank propulsion
cartridge supplied by B&T and snap the projectile back on the polymer cartridge using hand force. It is that easy and it
takes less than 20 seconds per cartridge!
The cost of this relaoding system will pay for itself in just a matter of less than 30 shots. The money saved after another
100 shots will pay for the GL06 Launcher! The numbers speak for themselve - it doesn‘t cost but it pays to use the GL06
system, launcher, SIR and reloading system.
