is that 2 magazines?
Yes the rear one is a grenade launcher with programmable fuses intended to shoot over cover and airburst over the people behind it.
Every country that had a program like this ended up cancelling it though because shit was heavy and expensive and not very good vs separate grenade launchers and rifles.

what the hell
I remember in the early 2000’s seeing this “future gun” all over the place, especially a few videogames. Pretty sure it was in Socom 1 or 2, described along the lines of the “infantry’s next service issue weapon” and then it was expensive and i dont think it worked so it got canned.
Bad Company, except in that it was called XM8
I mained this gun in Bad Company 2. It was perfect on assault maps as a defender; damn near everything in that game was destructable, so I’d spam the grenade launcher to deforest around the objectives until it was basically an open field with zero cover.
They really went all out on the grenade launcher on this thing.
Made-up gun from call of duty
