That gives me a great idea, though. Henry should make a lever action grenade launcher.

40mm is too big for a system like this, opposite with the pea shooter on the bottom. A 30mm with a 556 AR platform accepting standard magazines would be a better idea. Kinda like an OICW with bigger calibre grenades.

Nammo called stk to make outlandish design so that their design can get picked as the practical one.
And 40mm semi auto is going to have bulky ergo regardless. The current state of the art is m32, a large revolver.

Nope, 35mm is ideal for a high velocity fragmentation grenade launcher, 40mm is just too fat for that. The downside is that will just be a one trick pony and with drones and other loitering munitions the very concept of a airburst grenade launcher is obsolete.

why even bother with the "rifle" I dont get it... if it was just a standalone 40mm smart gun with cool ammo types It would be neat

Todd already made one

I think we should stop all this handheld grenade launcher shenanigans and focus on making the Carl Gustaf smaller, with smaller rockets but with the same effectiveness.

The XM-29 OICW era was an utter fucking disaster for small-arms. The only two things to come out of it that were remotely useful are in use by the Chinese and North Koreans, and I'm 100% confident that the North Korean version doesn't have any sort of electronics in it. But I'm sure that insufferable faggot Norktard is gonna pop up here with his schizo fanfics and tell us how the North OICW equivalent is far better than the Chinese counterpart.

The idea was solid, the physics and engineering just weren't there. More research should have been put into figuring out just how much HE of which composition and which warhead shape/design yielded the minimum acceptable size and velocity of fragments, and then worked backwards from there. Instead, each new submission is a complete weapons system plus largely untested ammo.

Also, in this day and age, the slug-thrower should really be SCHV C-T, not a PDW round or an AR carbine glued to the bottom.

Actually it probably sucks or they would have shown it being tested by now.
