      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.

    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.
