Description (Specifications)
"Early Grenade Launcher:" The early grenade launcher resembles a break-open shotgun, carrying only one round in the weapon. Reloading requires about a minute, during which a skilled operator can still evade enemy fire. Early grenade launchers fire only HE rounds, using the semi-automatic fire benefits of the RAM grenade causing significant damage. They are incapable of reaching to extreme range (i.e. beyond 500 meters). [2]
