Grenade Rifle

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

Characteristics
The grenade rifle, as implied by its name, launches 40mm grenades a respectable distance. Although it has a longer range than regular hand grenades, its ammo lacks explosive punch, so it does less damage than a regular grenade. It's break-action, so to reload it, you need to crack it open and load another grenade after every shot. It has a strength requirement of 5

You can attach a pump action mod that allows the grenade launcher to hold 4 rounds in a tubular, under-barrel magazine, allowing for a pump-action mechanism rather than break-action. Making it very similar to the Grenade Launcher

You may also affix a extended barrel to the rifle, purchasable in Novac.

Locations
Can be found on Boomers and in the Nellis Air Force Base

Appearances
