Description[]

Grenade launchers were military weapons that greatly improved the range of grenades. Grenades fired by grenade launchers always exploded on impact, regardless of timers. Grenade launchers were generally not able to hurlthermal detonators because these devices were too big and heavy, however some launchers such as theThermal Detonator Launcher were specially made to fire these powerful explosives. Grenade launchers could also be mounted on a rifle, creating a dual-purpose weapon.[1] TheUnder-barrel grenade launcher was one example of this.

The main variants of grenade launchers were theMicro-Grenade Launcher which fired smaller grenades and theGrenade mortar which lobbed grenades over distances longer than akilometer. Other variant models of grenade launchers included theRD-4 grenade launcher, theTTT-54 "Thumper", theHH-4 grenade launcher, theConcussion grenade launcher, and theEMP Launcher.

Grenade launchers were also attached to a number of vehicles. Examples of vehicles with grenade launchers include theA5 Juggernaut, theArrow-23 landspeeder,[5] theAll Terrain Personal Transport,[4] and theAll Terrain Scout Transport.[1] TheGalactic Empire'sMerr-Sonn Mobile Grenade Mortar was the vehicle form of a grenade launcher. The Grenade Mortar could fire up to one hundred grenades per second. The Empire also sometimes equipped grenade launchers on aMobile Defense Unit. Grenade launchers could also be mounted tostarfighters, making it possible for some ships to fire concussion grenades. By adding these launchers, a starfighters overall effectiveness could be greatly raised.
