"I like old six shooters. Especially the kind that shoots fourty mike mike grenades."

- UNSC Serviceman

The M23 Grenade Launcher is a six shot, revolver type grenade launcher, firing 40mm grenades with a high rate of fire. The weapon is mostly built of Klyonite with titanium alloy frame, steel barrel and polymer six shot drums. It features a titanium, folding stock with a rubber recoil pad. To use the FCS the stock must be unfolded.

Uses
The M23 GL is popular with teams facing close quaters assaults and urban combat. Its high rate of fire, explosive rounds and its different round loadouts make it popular for a multiuse weapon, capable of demolitions, clearing out buildings and destroying light vehicles. It is fond among Assault teams, urban combat teams and Combat Engineers.

Operation
The M23 is a revolver type, hand-held grenade launcher. The six-shot cylinder is rotated by the clockwork-type spring for each shot. Spring is wound automatically during the reloading. For reloading, the cylinder is flipped out to the left, allowing premade six round revolver loaders to be loaded or singular shells to be loaded. The double-action firing mechanism has a manual safety above the pistol grip. It is fitted with a Misriah Rail on each side of the barrel and one on the Reciever which, by standard, holds a Fire Control Scope.

UNSC Comments
"Thinks brings the rain! Six shells in three seconds!"

"Relaoding shells individually is fussy, but so are carrying the quick loaders. They are damn bulky."

"The HEAT shells can't take on tank armour, at least not frontal or flank, but i suppose thats the beauty of urban warfare, we got perfect shots on their upside armour."
