Auxiliary Grenade Launcher

The Auxiliary Grenade Launcher is a tubular device that fixes onto another weapon, many Imperial weapons are designed to take them. Pistol weapons are too small to carry Grenade Launchers, but bolters, lasguns and autoguns are sometimes fitted with these devices.

Grenade launchers fire pre-primed and preloaded grenades. The most highly favoured type is krak, providing extra short range fire power and vehicle busting capability. When the trooper wishes to use a grenade he throws a catch on the weapon which de-activates the normal firing mechanism and activates the grenade launcher. When he pulls his trigger a grenade is blasted out of the launcher, hopefully hitting the target and exploding with a devastating boom.
