A grenade is first loaded from the muzzle, the weapon is aimed, and then the double-action trigger is pulled to fire. This fires the [[percussion cap]] at the base of the grenade which activates the [[nitrocellulose]] [[propellant]] inside the grenade body.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=GP-25 / GP-30 GL Single-Shot 40mm Muzzle-Loaded Grenade Launcher Specifications and Pictures |url=https://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.php?smallarms_id=661 |access-date=2024-04-13 |website=Military Factory}}</ref> The hot, expanding gas from the propellant is forced through openings in the base of the grenade that move it along the barrel and, at the same time, force the driving band to fit into the twelve grooves of the rifle.
