Talk:Grenade rifle

No launcher mentions.
Please refrain from confusing this page with the talk page for the Grenade Launcher. They are two entirely separate weapons, not "one is a mod of the other." If you have to compare the two, make sure it focuses on the grenade rifle. And please, it is a single shot break action weapon, which has only the Grenade Rifle Long Barrel mod.

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. This is a Fallout wiki, not a CoD wiki. - Texas Ranger 23:30, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

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.

 * I took it out. Don't put it back. Article pages are not for playing "spot the similarities" Kris (talk) 14:37, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

?
how do ya change a break action into a pump action sounds like a complete weapon reconfigure Gaelan talk 23:37, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Damage confirmed
it is confirmed that it does 59 damage at %54 Condition,as of G4TV gameplay
 * I suppose you also know what the min and max damages are, what his explosive skill was, and all of his perks? Nitty Tok. 23:11, September 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't think we can use that information, especially since you can't figure out how to sign your post, and you can't even put the percent sign in the right place; if you get that much basic stuff wrong, how can we trust the accuracy of anything else you say? And yeah, Nitty has a point about min, max, skill and perks. -- 23:14, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Grenade rifle.
Seriously? Have the devs lost their FUCKING MINDS? 03:19, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Now it says that the grenade launcher is pump action? The grenade rifle and the grenade launcher are the same thing, the grenade launcher is normaly break action but it can be modded into a pump action weapon.--Roflguy227 15:01, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, that was a misconception that has been cleared up. -- 15:09, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Great,I'm glad it's been cleared up.--Roflguy227 17:33, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * What's been cleared up?! They both said the same thing. I've redirected Grenade launcher to Grenade rifle. Nitty Tok. 22:51, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Locked?
Why is this locked?

--DJ Idol 19:36, October 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Agreed, I have a wonderful image of an actual Grenade rifle and I would like to fix this inconsistency.

I think they are two seperate guns guys.
First, I will start off saying, why does pressing the "talk page" button on both the grenade launcher and grenade rifle take me here? Shouldn't they have different talk pages?

Now, I am pretty sure that THERE IS NO MOD THAT MAKES THIS THING PUMP ACTION. Why would there be a separate pump action grenade launcher if there was mod that would make them EXACTLY the same? Either they are the same gun (one with mod), or different guns.

I am pretty far into the game, and haven't seen this mod nor seperate launcher that is pump action, so I am not entirely sure witch is real. But what I am sure about is that we need to figure this out and edit this article appropriately, so here I am makeing sure before I changed anything.

According to the page on the grenade launcer (the alleged pump-action one), there are some in vault 34's armory. This would be a good place to start. --MoronicCinamun 02:04, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

I have visited the boomers, and now know that the grenade rifle and launcher ARE two seperat weapons, so I am editing this aticle.

Vendors
Do any of the vendors sell the grenade launcher/rifle?86.42.206.36 23:54, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

M-72 Grenade Rifle?
Im sure this is an M-72 and not an M-79, although this just might not matter, it confuses me. --SiloZen 22:17, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

The M-72 LAW is an anti-tank weapon, not a grenade rifle.

The Grenade Launcher and Grenader Rifle
They are both indeed two separate weapons. There are two clearly labeled Grenade Launchers found inside the Vault 34 armory on one of the tables. I had found them when playing on one of my old characters but neglected to record their data. It is indeed a four-shot pump-action variant of the grenade rifle, but the fire rate is slower and doesn't have as much range as the Grenade rifle does.

wrong info in this locked page
The mod can be purchased in a lot more places than just novac someone with higher access fix it please

similarity
this weapon strongly resembles the m79 grenade launcher, but it fires more like the china lake grenade launcher, both of them uses the 40x46mm grenade launcher.

Behind the Scenes
Is this stated by the developers or anywhere in game? Otherwise it needs to be removed as per admin's instructions. Great Mara 01:34, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Overshooting
Anyone else ever noticed a problem with this thing firing extra rounds? Say I key up two shots in VATS and the first shot kills the target, it will still fire the second shot. (PS3) Message 21:25, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
