My uncle always had good things to say about the M79

[โ€“] setsneedtofeed 3 points 11 months ago

At least into the early 2000s, while M79s were no longer being newly produced, spare parts still had military NSNs and were able to be ordered by units. If a military unit had at least a somewhat salvageable M79, it could be repaired to working order.
