The Armourer's Bench investigates the rare RG-1 Grenade Launcher, a Ukrainian weapon that has been seen in the country's conflict with Russia only a few times since the invasion. As one of Ukraine's most rare grenade launchers, the magazine-fed 30×29mm RG-1 is the subject of this video, which explores the available information about the weapon and the intriguing glimpses of it in action.

With trench warfare a feature in the Russo-Ukraine War, the rifle periscopes used in World War I, are back in style. The Armourer's Bench explain how these work...

Several variations on the concept of a periscope rifle have been seen in Ukraine since the summer of 2023."
