The said sealed wall is integral with a tubular element of the said tube and comprises an axial cavity defining a reduction in the thickness of the wall sufficient to ensure that the bullet shot by the gun shall pierce the wall without tearing it. The purpose is to increase the operational safety of grenade launchers.
