This weapon is of Balkan origin but dont know what it is or what its purpose is. However i have a feeling it is some grenade launcher type of weapon.

Could it perhaps be a spring-driven launcher like the PAIT?

Pardon me, is there a question about it? what is the purpose of the post? Is it for sale? Do you have one you want to know about?

56mm ammo?

Kinda puts an end to the old "9mm vs .45" debate...
