M79 grenade launcher

The M79 grenade launcher is an explosive heavy gun .
==Background==
==Characteristics==
A single shot, break-action, 40mm grenade launcher. When fired, the grenade is propelled in an arc, rather than laterally, and will explode on impact, dealing damage to enemies within its explosive radius. The additional damage from a direct impact is minimal, with the explosive damage being the bulk of the weapon's output. Aiming at the ground near the targets will allow more consistent hits.

==Behind the scenes==
* In an earlier patch, the M79 was considered both a shotgun and an explosive weapon. That meant that the M79 could benefit from both shotgun damage perks and the explosives damage perk cards. This has been corrected in patches 1.0.3.10Fallout 76 patch 1.0.3.10 patch notes: "Shotgun Perks: No longer incorrectly benefit the M79 Grenade Launcher." and 1.0.4.13.Fallout 76 patch 1.0.4.13 patch notes: "Weapons: M79 Grenade Launcher is now considered an explosive weapon in perks instead of being incorrectly considered a shotgun."
* The M79 is based on the real life grenade launcher of the same name.
** Similarly to its real life counterpart, firing the M79 in-game will produce a "bloop" sound.
==Bugs==
 Sometimes, it is possible to fire two or three grenades consecutively with one round by quickly tapping the fire button.
