M79

Developed by the United States in an effort to create a weapon more accurate and powerful than a rifle grenade but more easily portable and usable than a mortar, the M79 saw use regular use in the Vietnam War, where it's destructive power made it popular with soldiers. Tactical drawbacks presented by the weapon's size, weight and low rate of fire saw further developments in the field of grenade launchers, and the M79 was soon replaced by the M203 underbarrel grenade launcher attachment for the M16 in 1969. However, it was never entirely removed from service, having been occasionally pulled from reserve in very small numbers for use by special forces units for its greater range and accuracy compared to the M203. 
The SOE is known to make frequent use of the M79 under the moniker of "Thumper". These specimens are likely taken from either Spanish or Irish armories, as the M79 was never used by any other European nation.
