RBG-6

Notes: This is a direct copy of the South African MGL Mark 1, identical in almost every way to that weapon. Soon after the breakup of Yugoslavia, the Croatian Army managed to procure 300 MGLs from an unnamed Middle Eastern source (probably the United Arab Emirates); they then decided to copy it and sell it without a license. The RBG-6 includes a copy of the Occluded Eye Gunsight, and uses a dark sandblasted finish instead of the light sand-colored finish of the MGL. The other differences are minor weight and dimension differences.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Croatians have their MGLs, but are not manufacturing the RBG-6.

RGB-1

Notes: This is an underbarrel grenade launcher in use by Croatian forces. It was purpose-designed for the AK-series of weapons, but with modification, can be fitted to other assault rifles and battle rifles. The breech section hinges out to the left for loading. A sore point among Croatian soldiers is the exposed trigger, occasionally leading to accidental fire; however the weapon was preferred over the GP-25, since it used the greater variety of 40mm NATO rounds.
