Objective

Combat
Weapon

New system that uses 20mm grenades from a semi-automatic launcher that is
slaved to a range finder for bursts, with a VERY short barreled cabine
(5.56mm NATO, 8" barrel IIRC) for backup. Short, heavy, full of circuits
and expensive as hell.

I can imagine. Thanks, both of you.

BTW, is this in RL or game?
