Rifle Grenades

Weapon Description

Rifle grenades are another 20th century development. Simply put, a rifle grenade is a short (10-30 cm) rocket propelled grenade that is launched from the end of a rifle barrel. In order for a rifle to be able to fire a rifle grenade, it must have a special barrel fitting, which most, if not all-military rifles possess (usually built into the flash suppressor). Archaic powder rifles and carousel rifles are the only rifles that can have the possibility of using rifle grenades. Furthermore, sniper rifles and shotguns are usually not capable of firing rifle grenades. Rifle grenades are available in the exact same types as other launched grenades, except Beehive (above), and cost the same. It normally takes 6 seconds to affix a rifle grenade to a rifle. Once on the rifle, a single shot from the rifle (expending the single round) launches the rifle grenade. Any round (including blanks) can be used to launch the rifle grenade. Rifle grenades have a low SS when attached to a rifle, dropping or jarring the rifle and grenade combination can jar the rifle grenade loose. Fortunately, it is almost impossible to detonate a rifle grenade other than launching it. Firing a rifle grenade uses your "Indirect Weapon" skill.

Final note regarding rifle grenades and other launched grenades:

Normally, in real life, rifle grenades and launched grenades (along with other heavier ordinances) have a minimum arming distance. That is, if you used a M-203 grenade launcher and launched a HE grenade at your dog, standing 5m away, the grenade would not explode or go off. This is to prevent small accidents from killing the operator of the grenade launcher. I suggest you implement a rule that prevents these items from detonating at a range of less than 10 meters. An obvious exception to this would be the Beehive round.
