GRENADE LAUNCHERS

Grenade launchers are what can be called weapons of mass destruction. They were created to compensate for the lack of precision and power of hand grenades, whose dangerous handling is regularly the occasion of incidents in the field. A grenade launcher can project explosive, smoke, chemical or incendiary charges from a great distance, with greater precision than a hand grenade, to destroy equipment or neutralize a group of enemies. The self-propelled grenades typically used are of two calibers, with related effects : 25 mm and 40 mm (see the grenade chapter). More exotic diameters, such as the Soviet 30 mm also exist. These grenades are very large cartridges, which cause a significant recoil when fired, due to the high mass of the projectile.
To get rid of this cumbersome and heavy equipment, DCR grenades can be used at the end of a gun barrel. Models mounted under the barrel of a firearm are also popular, although their range, magazine and rate of fire are smaller.
From a legal point of view, it is clear that grenade launchers are highly illegal in the America of 2020.

* in a 10m zone, the fusion of this grenade causes short circuits in electronic components. Internal cybernetic equipment stops working for 1D6 minutes and cyberlimbs for 2D6 minutes. Memory chips are erased and electronic systems, depending on their complexity, fail permanently or for a few minutes. A non-cybernetized person loses his sense of orientation for about ten seconds (stun save at -1).
