M79

The M79 is a Grenade Launcher acquired from Mista's Shop acquired at Level 32

Overview The M79 grenade launcher is a single-shot, shoulder-fired, break-action grenade launcher that fires a 40×46mm grenade, which uses what the US Army calls the High-Low Propulsion System to keep recoil forces low, and first appeared during the Vietnam War. Because of its distinctive report, it has earned the nicknames of "Thumper", "Thump-Gun", "Bloop Tube", "Big Ed", "Elephant Gun," and "Blooper" among American soldiers as well as "Can Cannon" in reference to the grenade size; Australian units referred to it as the "Wombat Gun". The M79 can fire a wide variety of 40 mm rounds, including explosive, anti-personnel, smoke, buckshot, flechette (pointed steel projectiles with a fanned tail for stable flight), and illumination. While largely replaced by the M203, the M79 has remained in service in many units worldwide in niche roles.

Despite being completely phased out as the primary grenade launcher of the US Army. Some US Navy SEALs and Army Special Forces in Iraq have been seen using the M79 in recent years, due to its greater accuracy and range compared to the M203 (350 meters effective versus 150 meters effective). The M79 has seen notable limited use during Operation Iraqi Freedom, such as for clearing IEDs. The grenade launcher also sees continued use as a mission-specific tool with Special warfare combatant-craft crewmen. In-game The M79 is one of the few AoE weapons players can acquire in AniPhobia, being able to deal 300 damage on anywhere on the body and even without dealing a direct hit, allowing the M79 to work incredibly well as a crowd control device, being able to instantly clean up hordes of enemies with a single well-placed grenade into a horde, against high health enemies and bosses, the M79 can be useful for tearing chunks of health off with well aimed shots.

However like the RPG-7, it has the lowest ammo capacity of any weapon in the class, being forced to reload after one single shot, meaning that it's ill advised to rush into a horde if you have no other weapons to use if you're caught without time to reload, another downside of the M79 is that it's shots arc, meaning that leading your shots against moving targets should also incorporate the trajectory of the grenade.

The M79,like the WristGun and the RPG-7 can be used to rocket jump to get some breathing space and traversal. Known Bugs
