Norinco China North Industries Corporation.
It is worth noting that Norinco has a wealth of experience in creating such weapons;
The Norinco LG5 automatic grenade launcher is
an export version of a similar grenade launcher, which has been in service with the PLA since 2011.
In addition, Norinco specialists could rely on the experience of creating
a Chinese 12,7 mm HSARI LR2 anti-material rifle, borrowing the design of this model of sniper weapons.
At the same time, the American edition of the defense-blog in early February of 2018 wrote
that an unnamed Middle Eastern buyer expressed a desire to purchase"sniper" automatic grenade launchers LG5 manufactured by Norinco.
According to reporters,
the appearance of images showing a Saudi soldier fighting a Hussite in Yemen and armed with a Chinese-made Norinco LG40 portable 5 grenade launcher
is the first evidence of the use of this model weapons anywhere outside of china.
The automatic grenade launcher LG5/ QLU-11
was developed by the designers of the Chinese corporation Norinco and is positioned as a“sniper”,
as it is adapted to hit small individual targets at a distance of up to 1000 meters, while confident coverage of group targets is also ensured at a longer firing range.
