Underbarrel grenade launcher
This page describes one of the quick exchangeable weapon tunings.
A grenade launcher, attached to the underside of an assault rifle, that gives said weapon a second barrel, that can be loaded with a single 40 mm grenade.
Requirement: Mounting Rails on the lower side as well as any assault rifle:
Requirements for the tuner:
To produce it: Workshop of class B1 or better.
crafting and Armorer on at least 75.
No special skills are necessary to attach it.
Time:
- To produce: 12 hours
- to attach: 10 minutes
Average price: 1000 $ upwards
Effect: The weapon receives a second barrel that fires 40 mm grenades. This one is used via the heavy weapons skill.
As concerns the range division, the grenade launcher works just like the M 79 grenade launcher. Also, just like with the M 79 grenade launcher, it can only fire a single shot at a time. Reloading costs 2 AP.
Changing to the grenade launcher, i.e. changing the grip and flipping up the sights of the grenade launcher, costs 2 AP.
The size of the weapon moves up to the next bigger category.
Special rule: Due to the installation and fixation with further screws, the mounting rails on the side are unusable, even if present. No tunings can be added to the sides.
Since the grenade launcher comes with a second pistol grip, you receive the benefits of that tuning as well.
