About us

Rippel Effect (Pty) Ltd traces its roots to 1995 when it was established as an innovation-driven privately owned South African company. Rippel Effect is totally export-oriented, with a solid reputation for the supply and support of thousands of South African manufactured handheld 40mm Multi-shot Grenade Launchers to more than 30 countries around the world.

As prime contractor we take responsibility for the complete business cycle.  We ensure the best possible contracting options by sourcing from qualified and licensed subcontractors.  We  maintain our own independent quality controls in accordance with the highest international quality standards.

We offer

• The world’s first fully qualified and independently verified 4th generation 40mm Multi-shot Grenade Launchers certified to fire both Low- and Medium Velocity 40mm ammunition from the same launcher with no configuration changes;
• Unique electronically programmable sighting systems able to distinguish between low- and medium velocity ammunition;
• Weapon mounts to use the launchers on vehicles and boats without reconfiguring the weapon, yet allowing the operator to de-bus in seconds with the launcher in-hand.
• Rippel Effect is recognised as a world-class supplier in the global defence market, with a vision of dedicated service in the supply of technologically innovative products.
