The '''Grenade Launcher''' is a weapon that appears in [[GTA IV Episodes|Grand Theft Auto IV's episodes]], [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. The weapon is based on the [[wp:Heckler & Koch HK69A1|HK69A1 grenade launcher]]. The grenade launcher fires [[wp:40 mm grenade|40 mm]] [[grenades]] greater distances than a person throwing a hand grenade and is about as effective as a [[Pipe Bomb|pipe bomb]]. It is best for removing cover, such as a car, however, the grenade does not land in a particular spot, making it less accurate. The grenade detonates on a seven second fuse. Grenades can be fired at and bounced off walls to reach tricky targets. When engaging long range targets, the player must arc the shot (aim higher than the target) in order to compensate for gravity. Although the grenade launcher is not intended for aerial targets, the player can carry more rounds than the [[Rocket Launcher]] allows (20 grenades compared to 8 rockets). In the Ballad of Gay Tony, it features an interesting improvement in which the grenade explodes on impact if the round hits a vehicle or person. Also, the time it takes for the grenade to explode has been shortened to about four seconds.
