Also Called[]

Grenade Launcher Aptitude/Expertise/Intuition/Mastery/Specialism

Capabilities[]

Users are masters of wielding grenade launchers, weapons that fire a specially designed, large-caliber projectile, often with an explosive, smoke, or gas warhead.

Applications[]

Variations[]

Attached: Since grenade launchers require relatively low internal pressure and only a short barrel, a lightweight launcher can be mounted under the barrel of a traditional rifle; this type of device is referred to as an "underbarrel" or "underslung" grenade launcher. This reduces the weight the user must carry by eliminating the grenade launcher's buttstock and makes the grenade launcher available for use at a moment's notice.
Automatic Grenade Launcher: A grenade launcher that is capable of fully automatic fire, and is typically loaded with either an ammunition belt or magazine.
Standalone: The earliest examples of standalone grenade launchers in the modern sense were breech-loading riot guns designed to launch tear gas grenades and baton rounds. Heavier multi-shot grenade launchers are used as tear gas and smoke projectors in riot control, while military launchers are used to provide heavy sustained firepower to infantry; most such devices, dating back to the Manville machine-projector, use a revolver-style cylinder.
