Grapnel, Launcher Propelled, XM1 is intended to facilitate movement of personnel across obstacles such as streams, ravines, and cliffs. It consists of a munition for the M79 Grenade Launcher, a grapnel, and a rope pack. The system is man-portable. The propulsion system consists of a rocket motor with igniter cartridge. This munition is breech loaded, and the grapnel is muzzle loaded. The grapnel is attached to a 5/16 inch diameter, 400-foot, nylon line. After the grapnel impacts, the line is pulled manually to set the anchor. The total system, less launcher, weighs 28 pounds, 4 1/2 ounces, and is packaged in two bandoleers.
