A priming device is installed on the cover. The grenade is installed in the barrel up to the stop of the engine against the rear cover and aligned in the barrel with provision of further alignment at telescoping in the launching tube-pack by means of spring-loaded supports diametrically positioned relative to each other along the grenade body. The barrel is positioned in the launching tube-pack with a radial clearance, and a centering collar is made on it on the side of the rear cover in the generating line, and a setting cone - on the inner side. A tapered catcher equidistant from the tapered centering collar is made on the inner side of the launching tube-pack, on the side of the front cover. The angle of inclination of the generating lines of tapered centering collar is smaller than the friction angle.
