Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades/Launchers: Difference between revisions
(→FIM-92 Stinger: Yes, I did take this long to finish adding the content from an update released on Christmas. Yes, I did calculate the gauge of a 40mm grenade launcher. And yes, I did use a Telugu symbol in place of an "i". Deal with it.)
(→GP-25: Y'know, I just now realized how damn dark these screencaps are. Well, at least the stuff's visible. And it's "handstop", not "bandstop", Autocorrect.)
The third alpha build of Update #76 was the [[GP-25]] grenade launcher, complementing the prior alpha's [[M203]]. It comes in two forms: a standard variant (mountable on both the standard and "Tactical" variants of the [[AKM]], the same sub-update's [[AK-74]]N, the [[AK-101]], and the "Kalashniluger"), and a fictional variant that can be attached to Picatinny rails.

A third version was added in Update #87, as an integral component of the "[[Heckler & Koch MP7A1|Mp7 Sustenance]]". In order to fit the MP7, this variant has no pistol grip, instead using part of the MP7's original foregrip mounted forward of the trigger guard; this presumably means that the grip serves either as a handstop/foregrip for the SMG (in which case the launcher is fired somewhat normally, with a thumb hooked through the MP7's trigger guard for support) or as an actual grip (in which case the launcher's trigger would probably have to be pushed with the user's thumb).

Referred to as "Ordnance" in-game, these weapons occupy the "Support" group alongside machine guns and thrown explosives. The exception are the flamethrowers; one is only attainable in certain special scenes, and the other is in the "Meat Fort" category. This category also includes the "Kolibri9001" in-game, though it is placed on the pistol sub-page due to it being based on one.
China Lake Launcher
The final present introduced in the 2019 Meatmas update was a long-requested one, the China Lake Launcher.
The twentieth gift added in the 2018 Meatmas event was a FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft rocket launcher. It's the game's first (and, so far, only) guided-projectile weapon; it also holds the honor of being quite possibly the most faithful recreation of the Stinger's elaborate firing procedure seen in any piece of media to date.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingFIM-92 Stinger - 70mmError creating thumbnail: File missingThe Stinger's gift box, which comes with a set of instructions. The 3D modeler's name is cut off by the size of their own creation; for reference, the artist's name is "3mern".Error creating thumbnail: File missingMeanwhile, in the Sampler Platter scene (to which the Stinger and its instruction manual were also added), we get a close look at the Stinger's gripstock (with an incorrect straight rather than forward-sloping grip)...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and the IFF antenna. Which doesn't serve much purpose in-game, since there aren't currently any friendly aircraft in-game (nor is there an IFF interrogator box for the antenna to interact with).Error creating thumbnail: File missingThis small object is what's known as a battery coolant unit, or BCU for short. This holds 2 things: a battery, which powers the weapon's electronics, and a supply of gaseous argon, which cools them (since IR-seeking systems need to be extremely cold to work).Error creating thumbnail: File missingIt fits into a hole in the bottom of the gripstock unit, and has to be inserted for the weapon to fire. Don't just put it in whenever, though; the BCU only provides a 45-second supply of power to the guidance system, so if you don't fire it within 45 seconds, you'll have to replace it.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe next step is to turn on the guidance system (via a firing-hand touchpad button press), producing a continuous, grainy-sounding beep; aiming at a valid target for a few seconds, such as one of these F-18-sized flying steaks (yes, you read that right) in the Sampler Platter's skies, will make this beep louder and clearer, indicating that a lock has been acquired. This is a very slight deviation from the real weapon's operation; the in-game launcher can start a lock aiming at the target right away, whereas the real launcher must first establish contrast by aiming at a patch of open sky first, though this likely wasn't implemented due to the unfeasibility of properly coding such a feature.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThen, just hold down the uncaging switch on the gripstock's forend, aim a bit above the target, and fire.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA second or so later, the rocket's main motor engages, and it seeks and destroys the distant meat-jet.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFollowing this, the launcher can simply be discarded. This is partly in line with its real-world counterpart; the Stinger's LTA (launch tube assembly; essentially just the missile itself and the tube surrounding it) is a single-use, disposable unit, while the gripstock is re-usable, though "reloading" a gripstock with a fresh LTA is seldom done in the field, and used launchers are usually just held onto to be dealt with later. This is a bit of a moot point in-game, since the entire launcher can just be spawnlocked and duplicated indefinitely.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSomewhat strangely, the list of valid targets includes the Meatmas Snowglobe's crystal snowflakes; this is presumably so that the player has something to use their new-found toy on (as difficult as it is to hit something so small so close to the minimum distance at which a Stinger's rocket will actually start seeking out its target). Here, a fired rocket can be seen falling towards the ground, a few frames before the main rocket motor kicks in and sends it skyward.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFittingly enough, the "Meatal Gear Ronch" boss is quite vulnerable to Stingers (despite being encountered at rather short ranges compared to the Stinger's typical minimum, and the rather obvious issues involved with using an anti-aircraft rocket launcher against something that's not in the air).Error creating thumbnail: File missingThough, of course, the mech can attack with its own Stingers as well; this exchange of missiles is another mechanic more faithful to the source material than it is to reality, and makes even less sense than the other way around, since the missiles lock onto targets below the launcher; they're essentially used like high-tech mortars.
GP-25
The third alpha build of Update #76 was the GP-25 grenade launcher, complementing the prior alpha's M203. It comes in two forms: a standard variant (mountable on both the standard and "Tactical" variants of the AKM, the same sub-update's AK-74N, the AK-101, and the "Kalashniluger"), and a fictional variant that can be attached to Picatinny rails. A third version was added in Update #87, as an integral component of the "Mp7 Sustenance". In order to fit the MP7, this variant has no pistol grip, instead using part of the MP7's original foregrip mounted forward of the trigger guard; this presumably means that the grip serves either as a handstop/foregrip for the SMG (in which case the launcher is fired somewhat normally, with a thumb hooked through the MP7's trigger guard for support) or as an actual grip (in which case the launcher's trigger would probably have to be pushed with the user's thumb).
One of the firearms added to H3VR in the "Meat Fortress" update/TF2 crossover was a recreation of the latter game's Demoman's Grenade Launcher, a fictional rotary design drawing cues from the M79 grenade launcher and the Milkor MGL.

Heckler & Koch HK69A1
Adding to the game's slowly-growing collection of grenade launchers, the Heckler & Koch HK69A1 was (rather fittingly) added in Update #69.
Added in Update #60, the "Junkyard Flamethrower" is, as the name implies, a homemade flamethrower composed of various pieces of tubing, wiring, and other miscellaneous bits, all added onto what appears to be a pressure washer wand.
As it turns out, this was added largely for the sake of preparation; the "Meat Fortress" update added a replica of the TF2 Pyro's flamethrower, a device based largely on a commercial weed-burner (though possessing a passing resemblance to the M1 Flamethrower), composed of a gas pump handle, a propane tank, and various pieces of piping and hoses, operating with similar mechanics to the Junkyard Flamethrower.

The tank is labeled "Dr. Boner's Industrial Strength Nail polish remover", and features a warning to "USE ONLY IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA"; from this, it can be inferred that the tanks (seemingly propane tanks, of the sort used in portable camp stoves and the like) are filled with concentrated acetone. While this may be second only to The Fury's Flammenwerfer 41 loaded with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide (i.e. rocket fuel) from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater in terms of odd flamethrower fuels, it does make some sense: as any bottle of non-industrial nail polish remover will tell you, acetone is highly flammable, and would make a more effective fuel than the gases commonly used in homemade flamethrowers, though its volatility and tendency to evaporate easily would limit its effective range and make it somewhat dangerous - not that an ordinary flamethrower is exactly OSHA-approved, mind you.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe muzzle of the flamethrower, constructed of a cut-open soda can; judging by the blackening of the end, this flamer's seen some use.

Hey, as long as it works.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe pressure-adjustment mechanic from the Junkyard Flamethrower is also present on this version, with the adjustments being preformed via this knob; this appears to be the propane tank's flow-adjustment knob, though it is depicted as part of the flamethrower instead of part of the tank (likely due to the issues with moving parts on removable/attachable objects).Error creating thumbnail: File missingTwisting it all the way to the left creates a wide area of effect at the cost of range...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...while turning it to the right does exactly the opposite.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThere is one important mechanic, however, that the TF2-derived flamethrower does not share with its prior-added counterpart (but does share with its source material):Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe ammo-consuming, projectile-redirecting, enemy-pushing, and eternally laughter-inducing airblast.
M1A1 "Bazooka"
Update #50 added the M1A1 Bazooka to H3's collection of explosive toys. Unfortunately, the reloading procedure is incorrectly simplified, with the rocket simply being shoved into the rear of the tube, without bothering to attach the wire to the electrical contacts at the rear of the launcher (which served to transfer electricity to, and ignite, the rocket's booster charge and motor).

M203A1
Update #76's second alpha build added the long-requested, just-as-long-thought-impossible feature of attachable underbarrel grenade launchers, the first example of which being one of the most well-known, the M203 - more specifically, it is the short-barreled M203A1 variant.
The M79 grenade launcher was one of the first weapons added to H3, predating even the name; it, along with a few other weapons, was added to the early prototype stages of the game before it even received a proper name. In the 9th alpha of Update #52, the weapon got a new model and texture set, along with several new ammo types. These include 5 more-or-less normal rounds - an M381 high-explosive round, an M397 airburst round (which bounces off of whatever surface it hits and explodes in mid-air), an M576 buckshot round, an M781 inert practice round, and a CS gas grenade (which was added later, in the same update's 10th alpha) - and 4 more outlandish rounds (all of which have colorschemes and labels more reminiscent of novelty fireworks than of actual military ordnance). These are:
The "X214 Steelbreaker", a high-velocity armor-piercing saboted round,
The "X477 Cornerfrag", a low-yield fragmentation grenade that airbursts 4 meters from the launcher's muzzle, intended for blindfiring around corners in close quarters (hence the name),
The "X666 Baphomet", essentially a 40mm version of the Dragon's Breath round,
and the later-released "X1776 Freedom Party", a 40mm flashbang that releases red, white, and blue confetti upon detonation.
Along with the M320, Update #52's 10th alpha brought along a Milkor MGL; specifically, an MGL-140, a later model with longer chambers to allow for the use of more varied ammunition types.
The Orion Flare Gun is available in-game, having been added in Update #15. While it is capable of firing 12 gauge shells in-game, doing so with any sort of high-pressure shell (i.e. anything other than flares, "Cannonball" rounds, Dragon's Breath shells, or "Freedomfetti" shells) will destroy the flare gun, rendering it useless. However, Update #17 added a fictional steel-framed version capable of handling high-pressure loads.
Along with the standard M203A1, Update #76's 2nd alpha build added an RM Equipment M203PI, the main distinction between the two being their compatibility; while the M203A1 can only be mounted to the M16A1 and the "classic" M4A1, the M203PI can be attached to any standard Picatinny rail.
Rounding out Update #50's collection of largely-WWII-centric weaponry is the Panzerschreck. Much like the M1A1 Bazooka, reloading the weapon is a simpler process in-game than it is in reality; whereas in-game the rocket is simply stuffed into the tube and fired, in reality the rocket had to be properly lined up in the tube, and the user had to press down the pin on top of the contact box to allow electricity to be transferred to the rocket, thus allowing its ignition.
The 2016 Meatmas Update added 3 gifts on its 25th and final day, one of these being the game's first rocket launcher, the RPG-7.
The "Meat Fortress" crossover update added the Soldier's "Rocket Launcher" from Team Fortress 2, a fictional repeating design based on a (heavily stylized) RPG-7 with its grips reversed.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingRPG-7 - 40mmError creating thumbnail: File missingAn RPG-7 and a crate full of rockets, found at the Sampler Platter's Dessert Table. It's a hard thing to find, too - you have to show up early, or else it'll all be taken by the 12:30 lunch rush.Error creating thumbnail: File missing"Yes, I get that it's not loaded, but that doesn't mean that this isn't the single stupidest thing you have ever done."Error creating thumbnail: File missingTaking a closer look at the RPG-7, with it (thankfully) pointed in a far, far safer direction.Error creating thumbnail: File missingLoading in a PG-7V rocket.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFollowing this is a step that a great many games tend to forget: cocking the hammer. The RPG-7 uses a revolver-style spur hammer (albeit one that strikes directly upwards) to set off its rockets; since the trigger mechanism is single-action-only, the hammer must be cocked before every shot.Error creating thumbnail: File missing"Aiming" the RPG. Well, at least there was an attempt.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFiring the launcher...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and watching the rocket hit its mark. While it can't be shown here (for obvious reasons), one thing to note is the inclusion of a sound delay system for distant explosions - even at the back of this relatively small range, there is still a noticeable delay between seeing the round go off and hearing it, meant to simulate the difference between the speeds of light and sound. This feature, along with a great many others (including the Sampler Platter itself), was introduced in Update #52.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAmusingly, due to the way that H3 defines loading (i.e. if a round intersects a certain trigger area, it is automatically loaded), simply slamming a rocket into the side of the RPG-7's main tube...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...produces a loaded rocket launcher, presumably either meaning that the rockets are capable of teleportation, or that osmosis can be performed with far larger particles than scientists previously thought. IMFDB does not encourage the practice of slamming live rockets into things; doing so outside of a video game is highly unlikely to end well.Error creating thumbnail: File missing"Aiming" once again, this time at the cluster of shipping crates and explosive barrels that makes up the bulk of the Dessert Table's target content.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThis has predictable results.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnd when we said "heavily stylized", we meant heavily stylized.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe "Rocket Launcher"'s rockets, as in TF2, are these little gray objects that go into the muzzle...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and not necessarily one at a time. As in the source material, this launcher manages to fit 4 rockets in the tube (though, unlike the original game, loaded rockets will protrude slightly from the muzzle, as seen here); while such a thing isn't strictly impossible, it would be a far cry from anything that could reasonably be described as "safe", and would seriously inhibit the ability of the launcher to vent propellant gases out of the exhaust port (which serves to prevent the launcher from flying backwards with each shot).Error creating thumbnail: File missingAiming the launcher; between the wobbliness of the front sight and the lack of a rear sight to line it up with, this isn't particularly helpful at any substantive range. The former aspect is noteworthy; wobbly objects hadn't been feasible in H3's physics engine prior, but an outside contributor going by the name "Cynicat" managed to get it working.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFiring a shot; the largely-obstructed tube could at least explain the weapon's rather severe vertical recoil.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWatching the rocket hit its mark. The rockets fired by H3's version of the launcher are noticeably more powerful than those in TF2, frequently insta-gibbing enemies (such as this unfortunate Sniper Sosig) with a single well-placed shot.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe other "proper" use of the Rocket Launcher is another mechanic inherited from its source (pun intended), the so-called "rocket jump", wherein a rocket is fired at the ground beneath/a wall next to the wielder, propelling them through the air in a spectacular, cartoonish fashion; H3VR may very well be the first VR game in which such a thing is possible. Not recommended for those who suffer from motion sickness.
"Stickybomb Launcher"
Another weapon added with the "Meat Fortress" update was the TF2 Demoman's "Stickbomb Launcher", a fictional 8-shot semi-automatic weapon that fires remotely-detonated bombs (which, as the name implies, can stick to surfaces). Visually, it seems to be loosely based on the Sten Mk V, albeit stockless, left-hand-charging, fed by a fixed drum magazine (reminiscent of an RPK's 75-round drum), and massively oversized.

Sturmpistole
The final grenade launcher added in the 10th alpha of Update #52 is the Sturmpistole, a WW2-era German experiment in converting the Leuchtpistole flare gun into a grenade launcher.
