About the Multiple Grenade Launcher
A full reload takes 8.8 seconds, and switching to it takes 1 second. It loads one round at a time, so a reload can be stopped partway to fire. Aiming down the sights narrows its spread from 4.05° to 2.25°, 1.8 times tighter than firing from the hip. It accepts 6 weapon attachments.
There are 3 kinds of ammo for it: 40mm HE Grenade, 40mm Shotgun Round and 40mm Smoke Grenade. The 40mm Shotgun Round flies faster, at 225 m/s against 100 m/s for the 40mm HE Grenade and 40mm Smoke Grenade. Each shot splits into pellets: the 40mm Shotgun Round fires 18 pellets of 15 damage each, while the 40mm HE Grenade and 40mm Smoke Grenade fire a single projectile each.
