Grenade Launcher (Fallout: New Vegas)

The grenade launcher is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The grenade launcher is a pump-action operated weapon, firing 40mm grenades from a tubular magazine. Despite being only slightly larger than the grenade rifle, it has twice the weight. The grenade launcher's only real advantage over the grenade rifle is its extra damage which can reach alarming amounts when paired with the right perks. The grenade launcher also lacks access to the long barrel mod of the grenade rifle making its range rather limited, making the Heave Ho! perk worth considering when using this weapon.

Locations

 * Can be found at Nellis Air Force Base and on most Boomers, notably during the Ant Misbehavin' quest.
 * Pearl carries one.
 * Two of them can be found in the Armory of Vault 34, along with some 40mm grenade ammo.
 * Grenade launchers can also be purchased from Contreras at the Camp McCarran supply shack or from Blake at the Crimson Caravan Company.
 * One can be bought from the NCR arms merchant at the 188 Trading post.
 * You can find quite a bit of ammo for it inside Nellis Array near Nellis Air Force Base where the Boomers reside.
 * 2 can be bought from Mick's special inventory at Mick & Ralph's in Freeside.
 * They can be found on some of the White Legs in the add-on Honest Hearts.
 * There is one carried by one of the caravan guards at the beginning of Honest Hearts.

Bugs

 * In VATS, you may fire 2 or more shots at an enemy, if the first one succeeds to kill the enemy, the other shots will still be fired, rather than exiting VATS when the kill is completed, wasting ammo and time.


 * Sometimes, the grenades do no damage.


 * Occasionally, when you fire or possibly reload the Grenade Launcher, it will glitch, and a grenade round will appear to be stuck inside the stock. Unequipping and re-equiping the weapon seems to fix the problem.


 * When drawing the Grenade Launcher, then holstering it, a grenade round will appear stuck in the wooden stock. To fix this, unequip and re-equip the launcher.
