I was just looking at weaponry on the net. I'd thought that the MGL 140 in FC2 was a fanciful weapon invented by the game developers, was surprised to learn that it's a real-world weapon. Also known as the M32, it actually fires six rounds before reload, not four as in the game. They call it "the six-pack attack"...

For those who are interested, here's a clip showing it in use:

Looks like that would settle disputes really quickly  ;D

shooting almost straight up like that, looks a little risky to me.   :o

Imagine we had a buddy around with that MGL and we heard him go "wa-CHOo!" - I bet that would scare the sweet jebus out of me  ;D

I thought the same thing, those were flare rounds, I hope.... reminds me of those videos I made where you fire the grenade launcher straight up and RUN.

 :-X Cool vid, D_B, haven't seen that one before!

could be wrong but as far as i know the M32 was brought in to fill the gap left by the M79 after it was kind of scrapped as a weapon in its own right and merged with the M16 to create the M203. The M32 always made me think of a Giants revolver!

All I know is that it's like having a sniper rifle that explodes . . . and that makes me giggle ;)
