MEC grenade launchers

This would help a bit with the "MEC weapons suck" I think.

The GP25/30 has a munition called the VOG-25P. It's a 40mm HE Frag, sure, but it's better than the American version since it has a small charge in the front of it that makes it jump before it explodes.

Also, I know you're thinking about better sights for the grenade launchers... Making the tangent sights on the GP25/30 useable would be sweet. (Right now they're animated as some kind of arming device, and the GP30's is on the wrong side..)

Is it better? woot!

Yeah. It's the difference between the grenade going off against the surface it hits, and the grenade going off 3-5 feet or whatever away from the surface it hit. If it goes off higher, you've got a better chance of going past any cover.

Wow Great thread. Way to do the research to. Thanks, I like the Idea a LOT.

VOG-25P bounding HE-frag round has been discussed and we would like to include it, if it can be coded. The M79/M203 used to have an HE airburst round, also.

I'd really love to see specialized 40mm rounds from flares to smoke to bounding fragmentation to buckshot.

We do wish to include more 40mm rounds, also. Not sure if the parachute flares can be coded (dynamic lighting, et al), but smoke probably can. The 40 x 46mm NATO low velocity grenades used by the M203 are the only series that I know of with buckshot rounds; haven't heard of an East Bloc 40mm round of the same type.

I don't think the East Bloc can do it, since theirs are basically scaled-down mortars.
