40	x2	x1	x0.5	x1	x0.36	x0.36	x0.36	x0.8	x2

Full damage will be inflicted only if the target body is struck completely by the grenade. The grenade will bounce off walls and have double damage radius if fired with alternate fire. Higher veterancy ranks will increase the base damage by a specified multiplier.

Function

The Grenade Launcher lobs small grenades that can bounce off walls if fired with Alternate Fire. It can aim indirectly and hit targets behind cover; however, its damage and splash range is quite low, even against vehicles and buildings. It does reasonable damage against infantries should the wielder manage to score headshots against them.
