Talk:Grenade rifle/Archive 1

I'm pretty sure the pump action grenade launcher we saw in the G4 demo was an upgraded version of the regular Grenade Rifle. I don't think they changed it from break action to pump from the start. Ghostdigga 08:03, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

I hope this will be one of the low/mid-tier explosive weapons so I can get one early. Rootmars 12:49, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Who the hell has the hard on for the China Lake Launcher? Seriously, why would the default Grenade Launcher be a four shot pump action? Doesn't that seem like an upgrade over the break action? Ghostdigga 22:32, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. From the photo, it clearly looks like the break action version. BlaqheartGIG 02:09, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

In all four E3 demos showing combat, none of them actually showed the reload animation for the grenade launcher; although they did all clearly show an un-modded, pump-action weapon, clearly labeled "Grenade Launcher". It's possible that the grenade launcher shown in the trailer is a varient, a different type, or an unfinished version. While the one in the demos could possiby be a demo only version. We won't know for sure until the game ships; until then we should stick to what we saw in the over five minutes of gameplay footage rather than the one and a half seconds of the trailer.

single shot
If you watch the E3 trailer you can clearly see this thing being cracked open after firing to reload it, which would mean it's a single shot, break-action weapon.96.18.76.204 07:19, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

What is the likelyhood that this and the pump-action launcher are seperate weapons? Making a single-shot into a pump-action isn't a simple mod, it's a complete overhaul. The change is enough that I think that they should be considered seperate weapons until further notice.[[User:Grand Cookie|Grand Cookie 07:11, July 6, 2010 (UTC)]] 07:08, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * They look pretty much the same. In any event, it's not like all of the mods are easy little things like WMK was; the Little Boy mod for the Fat Man somehow makes it weigh less. (How does it do that? Anti-gravity? Ceramic launch rail?) Nitty Tok. 15:02, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding the pump action vs. break action debate, I agree they should be kept separate and not simply assumed that it'll be a modification for the grenade rifle/grenade launcher. As stated before it could possibly be a China Lake Grenade Launcher. Contrary to the name it's actually an American-made weapon, and it has a striking resemblance to the M79. It's pump action, and just so happens to hold a four round capacity. Compare it to the M79: China Lake Grenade Launcher. Remember, Sawyer is a gun lover and was one of the guys who primarily implemented the arsenal we'll see in New Vegas. He'd want to keep the weapons as close to reality as possible. However I'm not going to create another page or anything, just sharing my two cents of why I think they're two separate, yet very similar [in appearance] weapons. --Volundarkvioa 21:27, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

I know what it is.
It's a Thumper from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, or in real life terms: The M79 Grenade Launcher... it was used in Vietnam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M79_grenade_launcher. 98.229.124.38 04:30, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Screw Modern Warfare 2. That game is the dumbest game I've every played and I demanded my money back after playing it. But yes, it's an M79 Grenade Lancher, which was used by soldiers in The Vietnam War. But I Never want to hear about CoD on this site again.

Believe me, we've known. Ghostdigga 03:41, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Regardless, I think it's worth putting in some mention of the real life counterparts, which I'm doing momentarily.
