USMC repeating 6 shooter grenade launcher (bloop gun)
(snip) Marines with Regimental Combat Team 5, based in Camp Fallujah, test-fired the latest in the Corps’ arsenal of weapons’ improvement, the M-32 Multiple shot Grenade Launcher. It’s a six-barreled, 40 mm beast of weapon that has just about enough attitude for Marines.
..... too bad the moran that wrote the above could not see that the weapon only has 1 barrel....

3. But what an urban warfare weapon!
Six 40 mm grenades into almost any house sized building will neutralize any threat there.

Sadly, I foresee us doing just that, and getting the wrong house...

Wonderful. Now if we could just figure out who the bad guys are. :eyes:

9. Apparently the M-32 is the Milkor MGL-140.

Which seems to be of much bigger caliber than Christopher Walken's weenie model:





And if six is good, then twelve might be better.
