GDOM-999

The GDOM-999 is the first standard use of explosive ordinances in the ground forces of the SAA for good reason, as with the explosive compounds currently at the use of the Azure military it would be incredibly hard to reliably fire out of the barrel of a weapon as the compounds themselves are so magnetic that they stick to the inside of the weapon. This is not to say that soldiers are not deployed with hand ordinances such as Grenades or exotic thermites but it is to say that this is the first implementation of a grenade launcher that is supplied to a majority of soldiers on the field.

Ammunition
The weapon shoots a 60mm HEAP round out of the front of the barrel at a 35* angle, the weapon holds 10 rounds in a belt fed system which can be quickly thrown off when depleted. The manner of firing the 60mm round is odd but effective for a rather newly implemented device, while there have been uses of rocket launchers and grenade launchers, they are made special fit for AT type soldiers, so designing this weapon for mass production is hard to do in a simple and cheap manner. The round is launched via a manually pulled metal string along the front, the string is semi automated to be easily controlled and loaded with a simple bolt at the front of the weapon, however the usage of the string and bolt has given the weapon a strange look as the top of the weapon does not form a seal, but instead has a large gap near the tip of the barrel where the round can be seen sticking out.

Specifications
The round travels quite slowly at 200fps and can only travel as maximum of 1000 meters at a flat range. The weapon has an integrated range sight which allows the user to zero in on a certain range to fire without having to aim the weapon up. A maximum rate of fire is achieved at however fast the user can pull the bolt back which cycles the round into place, similar to a revolver.
