Pindad SAR-2

History of Pindad SAR-2

The SAR-2 is a single-shot grenade launcher system that fires 38mm shells - typically used in anti-riot operations. The gun has a total length of 763mm, a barrel of 360mm and a weight of 2.36kg. The effective range is up to 125 meters. The flip-flop is based on a double acting (DA) arrangement.

As a single-shot weapon, the operator must reload after each shot by "breaking" the weapon before the action (the hinge helps expose the chamber). As usual, the barrel is located in front of the receiver, with a foldable foregrip underneath. The trigger group is placed in front of the angled pistol grip, which in turn sits in front of the sturdy shoulder rest.

Polymers help keep weight down, and the flip-up mirrors combined with the front (fixed) mirrors provide some range accuracy.

Two ammunition types are listed for the SAR-2: MU 38MM AR1 (tear gas) and MU 38mm (Kartet).

This weapon was developed by Pindad of Indonesia, who maintains a good record in small arms for local and foreign use.
