The Type 87 (also known as QLZ87) 35 mm automatic grenade launcher (AGL) is an air-cooled gas operated fully automatic weapon and is crew transportable (12~20 kg) with limited amounts of ammunition. It can fire a variety of 35 mm grenades stored in the 6- 9- or 12-round cartridge drum. The Type 87 is described by NORINCO as Mini Infantry Artillery. The 35 mm grenade pierces armour up to 80 mm thick and produces fragments to kill or wound personnel within 10 meters of the point of impact.
