Kestrel grenade launcher

During the First Tiberium War, several special service grenadiers were outifitted with handheld grenade launchers, codenamed Kestrel. Manufactured by Vervack, the AG79 K1 automatic grenade launcher fired 40mm rounds in an arc. It was fed from an eight round cylindrical magazine and allowed for a high rate of fire, but required a lot of skill to wield it properly.

The design has been largely abandoned following the war due to drawbacks in it design and limited performance - the grenade launcher did not allow for easy clearing of foxholes.
