Historical Significance
The M79 Grenade Launcher is one of the best-known U.S. weapons of the Vietnam War. It is a single-shot, break-open, shoulder-fired launcher made to fire 40mm grenades. It gave one soldier more firepower than a hand grenade, while still being easy to carry in the field.
This manual is part of the Army’s repair and support record for the M79. A later Army manual lists TM 9-1010-205-34 as dated June 28, 1966, showing its place in the official M79 manual line.
What This Manual Covers
This is a support-level maintenance manual for the M79. It is useful for studying the repair side of the launcher.
It is a good reference for:
- M79 repair study
- 40mm launcher parts research
- Vietnam War small-arms displays
- U.S. Army armorer collections
