The US already has the M1 Garand with a grenade launcher, Germany may eventually have the StG 44 with a grenade launcher. But is there a similar weapon for Japan? For example, a grenade launcher rifle could be a good reward in BP or as a weapon for an entire squad for an event! After all, Japan unfortunately has problems with the choice of adding weapons.
TYPE HEI AND A GRENADE LAUNCHER
Unfortunately I have no evidence of grenade launchers being used on the Type Hei. However, I see no reason why standard Japanese grenade launchers could not be attached to the barrel of the Type Hei rifle.In addition, the Type Hei has a gas regulator, which can greatly increase the effectiveness of the grenade launcher, similar to the M1 Garand.
Wouldn’t it break balance though since no nation has SF rifle with grenade luncher in TT (there is german paras with FG42 with grenade kunchers) also it would cause toxicity in BR5 , imagine running around with 9 man armed with OSK(one shot kill) SFs and now they also have the ability to wipe a squad
In general, I did not mean the branch pumping, but rather as a weapon for a squad from the event (for example, a squad of 5 fighters who can not change weapons, such as a squad with MG 39, only there will be a squad with Type Hei with a grenade launcher). Or some other options, but I don’t mean TT:
but Stg44 cannot use grenade launcher.
It has no gas regulator.
Germans tried to make it work when they change MP43,however,their final solution was not practical.
the solution is:
u need to change anthor gas bolt.
Germans also think the gas bolt r useless stuffs.So they gave up researching Stg Grenade launcher.u can also see subtle difference between the muzzle of MP43 and Stg44 in game
I think it’d make for a really interesting event or BP weapon for Japan. And by all accounts it should be possible in theory for the standard grenade launchers to be mounted on the Hei, I think it’s an idea worthwhile considering, even more so if Mr McCollum gun Jesus himself puts the idea forth for consideration.
I’m not sure of the correct translation, but it seems the Type Hei rifle got a barrel diameter like the Arisaki Type 38 during modification.
