User talk:Forcelord/SW-66 Grenade Launcher

"Can fire any grenade known to man?"

Sorry, this just isn't practical. Grenades have varying sizes, ranging from the small 40mm used in modern weapons like the M203 to the large M9 HE-DP Frag, both of which are assuredly known to man. In order for a grenade or any projectile to be launched, a propellant must exist, something hand grenades do not have. Secondly, firing large grenades would require a large barrel, and this larger barrel would prevent a gas seal from building up around smaller projectiles, preventing them from reaching high velocities and basically just dumping them out the barrel where they would blow up at the user's feet.

Not to mention the fact the barrel would need extreme reinforcement to handle the larger charge to fire large projectiles, and given the barrel's large size the launcher would practically impossible to carry.

It just isn't practical.
