.50BMG will have a helluva lot more range, much better hard target penetration, and you won't need a DD (destructive devices) permit for it as you do for a grenade launcher.
Gun would probably cheaper too. Ammo cheaper for certain. Infinitely easier to find ammo in .50BMG than in 40x53mm as well.
Well, yeah. But I created one of these things in Marathon II. Could empty a 20 round clip of grenades in about 3 seconds. Recoil would spin you around though or send you off a high cliff.
As far as .50's go, I'm lusting after my buddie's Boyes Anti-tank rifle (http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-weapons/allied_ww2-b.htm). It's been downsized for .50 BMG. Comes with 5 round removable magazines. It's a heavy beast and over 5' tall but damn, it is cool!

Date: 2006-04-21 04:46 pm (UTC)My mom had a knee injury that was diagnosed wrong, and because of it, it has pretty much crippled her.
I'm giving these people a call in a few minutes to see what they can do for her.
This was actually an idea i had, but since I'm not an engineer, I never followed through with it.
Thanks!
