Developed by the South-African company Milkor, it entered production in 1983, and served with South-African Countrywide Defense Forces for at least 20 years. Since the 1996, an improved version of the basic design entered the production, it has been chosen MGL Mk.1. The Milkor MGL is also employed by more that 20 other nations around the world. Milkor MGL offers important firepower increase, compared to US-made M79 single shot 40mm launcher. The rapid-fire capacity ( 6 shots in less that three seconds) is important in ambush situations and in quick-pacing urban warfare. The Milkor Mk.1 is now available for export, and a nearly precise copy of Mk1, is made in Croatia by the RH Alan company as RGB-6. The latest alterations of the Mk.1 launcher, which are made in South Africa and offered in USA with permission by Milkor are the Milkor Mk.1S and Milkor MK-140. These two launchers differ from original Mk.1 by having stronger, chrome steel frame (as opposed to the original aluminum frame ), as well as by having 4 Picatinny-type accessory rails round the barrel. The variation between Mk.1S and Mk-140 is the length of the cylinder - while Mk.1S keeps the first cylinder, the Mk-140 has a longer cylinder, which can accommodate a greater diversity of the less-lethal 40mm ammunition, which typically has longer warheads. Both types also fire all standard 40x46mm 'lethal' ammunition, including HE, HE-FRAG, HEDP and others. The Milkor Mk.1 is a revolving type, hand held grenade launcher. The six-shot cylinder is rotated by the clockwork-type spring for each shot. Spring is wound manually in the reloading. For reloading, the rear part of the frame (along with the pistol grip) is unlocked and then rotated sideways round the top strut of the frame, till the chambers in the cylinder are exposed for reloading. Once cylinder is reloaded, the rear part of the frame is rotated back and locked into position. The double-action firing mechanism has a manual safety above the pistol grip. All Mk.1 launchers are fitted with the red-dot type sight, with range scale. Modern versions, M.1S and Mk.1L, also be fitted with other sorts of sighting equipment, using Picatinny rail on the pinnacle of the barrel. The top folding shoulder stock has a rubber recoil pad.

The MGL is a repeating 40mm grenade launcher that uses a revolver-style magazine. It can fire any NATO low-velocity 40mm grenade, and has a 6-round capacity.
