They're similar to our Mk 19 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher.

Bingo, they are a Soviet made dual mount AGS-17 grenade launcher atop a Serbian light armored assault vehicle. Part of the rapid deployment urban special forces assault unit(Jedinica za Specijalne Operacije-JSO). Stupid NATO, should have let the Serbs clean out all the terrorists in Albania when they had the chance. Nice find on the flicklife vid!
