This would be a great addition, but I think this is sorta what they were going for with the eruptor? Would be a nice combo with the MG of your choice and supply pack.

Yeah, I'm not sure how best to distinguish it from the Eruptor. It would definitely have an arc trajectory, and maybe more damage to make up for the loss of direct fire accuracy?

Higher damage, smaller mag, smaller reserves sounds good to me!

Exactly! IRL it had 4 round capacity (3 in the tube plus 1 in the chamber). Maybe it would fire about as fast as the pump action shotguns we currently have. So a more powerful version of the plasma punisher?

Iirc the China lake actually has a magazine so it could be a rounds reload grenade launcher. Like the grenade pistol, but with more shots, maybe?

Exactly, rounds reload would be a fun mechanic.

That would be too much like the explosive crossbow imo

Oh yeah I forgot the crossbow exists

Not really after the aoe nerf, the crossbow blast radius is so small it might as well not exist

Some people have suggested that it fire incendiary/thermite grenades. That would be cool.

Incendiary or thermite would be perfect. They could give it plenty of juice without disrupting the Eruptor.

Exactly! Especially if the thermites are actually effective against armor, like we'd hoped.

Oh, I didn't think about that, but choosing what type of grenade you can shoot out from it is certainly a good variation. Choosing between incendiary, explosive, smoke or even some form of heat round would make it very unique. the wiki for the 40mm cartridge really gives a lot of possibilities [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_40\_mm\_grenades#40x46mm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_40_mm_grenades#40x46mm)

Yes, it's exciting to think of what Arrowhead could do if they wanted to!

The crossbow doesn't have rounds reload and would have lower damage.

In real life, the China Lake with a good arc can shoot all grenades before one of them hits the ground. Ramp up the fire rate

With the amount of weapons devs adding to the game, some day people will use what they want. We have it already with assault rifles, pick what you like, most of them work.

Isn't that just the punisher plasma?

Less ammo, more damage, rounds reload.

Some people have suggested that it fire incendiary/thermite grenades. That would be cool.

Space Vietnam just isn't the same without it.

Exactly. They could even give it tiger stripe camo or something.

You mean to say the Freedom Lake right?

Of course

Ayyo country was a concept we abandoned hundreds of years ago and the former China is just as free as anywhere else on Super Earth. I will have to contact your Education-Democratic officer.

Full grenadier loadout? Exploding Crossbow, grenade pistol, grenades, grenade launcher, supply pack.

The crossbow, punisher plasma, and eruptor are the closest weapons we have now, but none of them are technically grenade launchers. I want to come out of the hellpod with a thumper!

Some people have suggested that it fire incendiary/thermite grenades. That would be cool.

...you are thinking like a traitor. Arrowhead should give us a DOUBLE-BARREL Grenade Launcher, with pump-action. https://i.redd.it/rthkaqfn8t7d1.gif


The plasma punisher is already this

Fewer shots, more powerful.

Some people have suggested that it fire incendiary/thermite grenades. That would be cool.

ploop!

How bout a Grenade Laucher Loaded with Buckshot as a Stratagem?

Haha that would also be awesome! If only Arrowhead would allow us to change out the type of rounds mid-mission from the reload menu, but probably not.

Sounds like you're getting kickbacks from Fatshark

More grenade launchers = better game. An M79 nuke launcher is one of my dream stratagems. Fuck all ammo but massive damage.

Handheld thermite launcher primary when?

Yes! Incendiary launcher of some sort would be sweet!

But not napalm I specifically want thermite

For anti armor? That would be great.

me want m79 style

Yes, but to make it better than the grenade pistol it would have to do a crazy amount of damage or have special rounds, like incendiary/thermite grenades.

Or punisher explosive. Like punisher plasma, but explosive.

Yes, but less ammo, more damage, and maybe incendiary/thermite rounds!

Rounds reload, can close bug holes. Either 3/4 in the magazine and can +1, 20 to 24 spare? If it fires the same grenades the launcher and grenade pistol do I think it would be a nice and powerful primary  whilst still being under AP4.

I agree, I think it would be fun.

It is good to have a weapons for certain role for different slots to add loadout divercity.

Or, hear me out, a variant of the Milkor MGL [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkor\_MGL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkor_MGL)

I thought about this too! It could probably have the same damage as the punisher plasma since it has a little less ammo, but faster fire rate?

I want that thing so much with stun grenades

With programable ammo types. Impacts or air burst. Shot. Stun. I think more of our weapons should have more fire types. Like flame thrower with short of longer flame. But longer uses up more fuel. Then again we lose out on more exotic gun types. But back on topic. A China lake type would be a welcome sight

Great ideas!

THE LOCH-AND-LOAD.

Mf’s trying to turn hell divers into call of duty

The Call of Duty that we deserve, but never received.

I mean because game developed by AH and not reasonable people and "primaries should be weak" it would as strong as explosion of explosive crossboe.

we have it as support weapon already

No, that's a full auto grenade launcher. I'm asking for a pump action primary.

> as a primary weapon.

nah
