1. Looks to me like some kind of 40mm round

adapted to fire from a standard RPG-7. Don't really know... But I'd doubt the round seen in the photo could be much of an anti-armor weapon (such as the one that hit that M1-a1).

2. Check the back of the NRA magazines

I'm sure lots of their advertisers sell grenade launchers and can identify it for you. I'm not sure if that's the same model grenade launcher that Tim McVeigh used to "play around with" or not.

3. I don't think you'll see to many advertisements

for grenades and grenade launchers here in the US. It's an expensive hobby. The taxes alone cost more than the whole launcher over in the middle east.
