Seburo M57 "Smart" Grenade Launcher

  Designed for a more efficient approach to both indirect, and direct fire support, Seburo has offered their M57 "Smart Grenade Launcher". With the use of the old 40mm grenades, Seburo engineers decided to make the weapon more effective by making it more "intelligent". What they did was build a standard M203 configuration grenade launcher, using the latest in ceramic materials, then add equipment. The heart of the system is the top mounted COT-capable electro-optical scope image magnification-3 scope, which has circuits for low-light, as well as thermographic vision. This transmits data into the firing chamber, which electronically sends to the round. This also recieves data from the internal Smartlink II, which is backed up by the Rangefinder Air-Timed Grenade Retrofit, allowing superior accuracy with standard grenades. The weapon has a folding stock, to allow easy carry and compactness. Shock pads are mounted to reduce the recoil of this weapon.
  Developed exclusively for the M57 are modified 40mm grenades that are rockets. Using an inbuilt guidance system, these allow the firer to be more accurate with the launcher, as well as providing extra firepower. They are available in all configurations, except for ATAT, as well as DSAT modes. One main benefit of this system is that the range is considerably extended, double that of a standard grenade launcher.

  Type | Conceal | Ammo | Mode | Damage | Weight | Availability | Cost | Street Index
  Grenade | 4(5)* | 1(breech) | SS | As grenade | 3.35 | 10/4 days | 5,055¥ | 4

  The weapon has a recoil modifier of +2, and the weapon has Level 2 shock pads mounted. It cannot accept any other accessories.
  M35 series Rocket Grenades
  Able to be fired out of standard 40mm grenade launchers, the M35 series grenades are rocket propelled versions of standard grenades. Using a small rocket motor, plus a rudimentary guidance system hooked up to the M57, they both weigh and cost slightly more. The user simply acquire a target, then the scope will download that image to the missile's processor, and will attack that target upon launch.

  Type | Damage | Intelligence | Weight | Availability | Cost | Street Index
  Assault Rifle* | As grenade** | 4 | +.5 | +3/+2 | x3 | +2

  *Use the standard table, but extend the Extreme Range to 600m. Like any other "smart" system, the grenade can add it's Intelligence to the firer's skill rating. It has a scatter of 2D6. **Grenade types
