The grenade rifle launches [[40mm grenade (Fallout: New Vegas)|40mm grenade]]s over a respectable distance. Although its range is longer than regular hand grenades and the fuse is impact-triggered instead of timed, its ammunition is less powerful and its single-shot, break-action design makes rapid fire impossible. Unlike the [[Grenade launcher (Fallout: New Vegas)|grenade launcher]], it requires a Strength of 3 to carry.

The grenade rifle, as implied by its name, launches [[40mm grenade (Fallout: New Vegas)|40mm grenade]]s at a respectable distance. Although it has a longer range than regular hand grenades, its ammunition 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 unlike the [[grenade launcher]].

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

Characteristics

Although its range is longer than regular hand grenades and the fuse is impact-triggered instead of timed, its ammunition is less powerful and its single-shot, break-action design makes rapid fire impossible. Unlike the grenade launcher, it requires a Strength of 3 to carry.

Durability
