Grenade Rifle

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

Characteristics
The grenade rifle, as implied by its name, launches 40mm grenades at 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 3.

You may also affix an extended barrel—purchasable in Novac—to the rifle.

Locations

 * In Nipton, in a house east of Nipton General Store.
 * Can be found on Boomers and in Nellis Air Force Base.
 * Sold by Lacey in the barracks at the Mojave Outpost.

Variants
Thump-Thump can be found in Nellis Air Force Base, in the generator room.

Behind the Scenes
The grenade rifle is based on the realworld M79 grenade launcher, commonly known as the "Thumper". This is also where the Thump-Thump unique launcher gets its name.
