How about Jim Raynor's revolver from SC?

How about this for a pistol and sidegrade?

Speaking from experience the recoil on a grenades launcher is no joke, firing one that small with no way to absorb recoil would be slightly hilarious after you busted your face open and probably hazardous because your barrel would be swinging wildly into friendly territory.

Well I was wondering how that 30mm grenade actually worked. Being an active duty Marine from 88-94 I can tell you that there isn't that much recoil from a 40mm grenade launcher. The grenade isn't propelled at ballistic speeds so the recoil is a lot less in a normal grenade launcher. That said those grenades depended on rifling to cause the grenade to spin in order to arm itself which prevented you from exploding a grenade a to close to you. This is one of my pet pieves about modern FPS where people shoot you point blank with a 40mm grenade and you die some how...and normally they seem to live some how.

The recoil doesn't feel like much because the energy from firing it is being dissipated on a longer weapons platform, and the m-16 dissipates recoil very well. If you look at old Vietnam footage of soldiers using the thumper you'll get the idea. On that pistol I would say it would be comparable to firing a 12 gauge one handed.

I was active duty Army from 2002-2010, so I am quite familiar with the old 40mm under slug system as well.

all the NC has to do is get the TR's gun wet and its useless good to know

on another note i really would like NC to have some sort of revolver I've long since gotten over the semi-auto. Revolvers have more class.

Quoted for falseness!!! LIES!

But I rekon you should have a sidegrade for a 4 round hand-cannon. 20mm rounds?

That gun is a Just Cause 2 weapon...so it isn't real anyway.
