Grenade Launcher: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Traveller]] Classic'' had auto grenade launchers (rapid fire).

* ''[[Shadowrun]]'' had both dedicated grenade launchers and underbarrel launchers for long arms (rifles, shotguns, assault rifles, etc.).

** The Imperial Boltgun (and variants) are all technically rocket propelled grenade launchers. Which happen to be fully automatic.

* Men O' War Bombardiers in ''[[War Machine]]'' are soldiers wearing steam-driven [[Powered Armor]] and wielding grenade launching [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaws]]. It can't get much more awesome than that.

* ''[[Medal of Honor]]: Allied Assault'' had a rifle that took grenades in multiplayer mode, a weapon so infamous it's almost universally banned.

* ''[[UFO Alien Invasion]]'' features a revolver-style grenade launcher... before 2.5 it [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|can unload its entire cylinder as a 6-shot burst in a single turn]], but even with a pair of snapshots it's formidable, and the most practical indirect-fire weapon, and when set to timer, grenades bounce a little. It got HE and incendiary grenades, plus flechette loads to use as a poor shotgun in a pinch. Also, there's researchable plasma grenade ammo.

* The 8 ball/rocket launcher in the ''[[Unreal]]'' series sometimes functions as a grenade launcher of sorts. By using [[Secondary Fire]], rockets are ejected without igniting their motors. Just like primary fire, holding down the trigger allows you to fire up to 8, 6, or 3 at once. (Depending on the game)

** The ''[[Unreal Tournament 2004|200X]]'' games have assault rifles with integrated grenade launchers as starting weapons. Also, ''2004'' has a Grenade Launcher weapon which is actually a [[Sticky Bomb]] launcher: it's remote-detonated projectiles (8 max) magnetically attach themselves onto the target, exploding when their owner triggers them or dies. The [[Short-Range Shotgun|Flak Cannon]] also has a grenade [[Secondary Fire]] that will usually one-hit kill on a direct hit.

* The first heavy weapon you get in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' is a grenade launcher. One of the early quests references how you're carrying it everywhere you go: a guard explains to a civilian why he's letting you into a quarantine zone and not her with the memorable line, "You don't have a grenade launcher, lady. Get lost."

* ''[[PlanetSide]]'' has the Thumper grenade launcher, which uses a rotating cylinder drum, and can be loaded with a variety of different special ammo types (fragmentation, [[Kill It with Fire|plasma]], [[EMP|jammer]]).

* There's one in ''[[Alice: Madness Returns]]''. Yep, it's called a Teapot Cannon. The in-game poster states that it shoots "Tea Grenades". Probably one of the few (if not the only one) game which the weapon can [[Cooldown|overheat]] just after a few shots.

* A rotating-cylinder grenade launcher is one of the many weapons ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' can pick up.
