"In many respects, the China Lake is similar to the more well-known GM-94; both are pump-action firearms designed to accept grenade launcher ammunition. However, this is where the similarities end. The China Lake differs in its chambering and layout; this bad boy accepts the more common 40mm NATO rounds, its barrel is conventionally located over the magazine tube, and it has a standard wooden stock, giving it the appearance of a giant shotgun on steroids. You could consider it the M79's meaner cousin. You can even treat it like a literal shotgun by using buckshot rounds. In other words, it's simply amazing!"
