Could anyone please post, or direct me to, pictures and/or info on the Istec ISL 201 Grenade launcher for the HK53?
I've tried google and all the weapons sites I know of, and found nothing except this pic from the Today's pic's thread two years ago:

Well, I know that a larger version of the same picture exists, but I only have this one:

I have seen, but cannot find it now again, a picture that depicted that same guy standing right beside the vehicle. The angle was different too, so you could make out a fair bit of the grenade launcher.

I too wish there were more pictures of this interesting combination.

I also have this, although this is just a shotgun:

That is the "Idaho Integrated Breaching Shotgun" developed for the US Department of Energy.

Oh trust me, I regret not having saved it every day. Only later did I realize that it was the same guy as in this picture. The HK53 with Aimpoint, grenade launcher, and Sure M9xx combination is very impressive. I spent all day digging through old posts here, on HKPRO, and on Lightfighter.net trying to find it. I bet some tiny Japanese website has about 10 pictures and the one I am looking for is one of them but it's impossible to find the site because it's all in Japanese and it's tiny and unimportant. :-(
