[RETURN] - Weapon Suggestion: China Lake Grenade Launcher
'''NOTICE: This is only a suggestion and is not even considered to be completely official. It is unlikely that a Weapon such as this will likely even be in the game at all. TL;DR is NOW included in this discussion!'''

Alright, been a while since I posted a weapon suggestion - and I feel bringing a few familiar weapons might be a good path for the time being. So as the name implies, I had considered making a suggestion of a returning weapon for everyone's most hated and loved weapon: The China Lake Grenade Launcher. Come, see what I got in store!

Summary
The China Lake Model (or China Lake pump-action grenade launcher), while it is limited in terms of reality, is a pump-action grenade launcher that has decent damage to dish out by using grenades that explode on contact. Unlike it's formal competition towards the RPG, the China Lake is capable to conserve ammo, yet have limiting range alike to the M202.

Despite lagging behind the RPG, it is a better improved M202 to fire 3 shots before reloading (which acts similar to a shotgun), while having a vast amount of upgrade-able attachments that can be a some-what game changer to the Survivor's advantage - if used correctly.

Background Story
In this day and age, explosions seem to twinkle in every survivor's mind when it comes to seeing many zombies be torn asunder, the bewildered faces of soon-to-be human victims or the overall joy of the explosive thrills. Despite the claims, companies never cease on getting more demands for explosive armaments - which R-Brain Hardwork has finally decided to re-instate the ever-so familiar and devilish grenade launcher.

Despite it's rugged state on being discontinued; They had set to work on improving it's quality and ever so famous firepower. To remain affordable to the average joe, they kept the ammunition count low with moderate firepower within the encased grenades - however; it did not stop them for being creative by making many grenade varieties at a price, which wasn't really unexpected of them to do.

Tips

 * Time and keep track of your shots; depending on the attachment you are using, it is very easy to spend your ammunition dry.
 * Headshots are always the best way to eliminate a zombie for which deal double the damage.
 * Regardless on it's damage and accuracy, this is a good early weapon to hold many magazines and consist of a good range compared to the Scar-H.
 * The Pindad SS2 has a longer firing range than the AK47 in comparison

Attachment Information
Default: All users will start out with the default mode for the weapon. The Default grenade round will result as follows:
 * Trips/Stuns targets when hit directly or in blast radius (!!this goes for EVERY grenade in this category!!).

Tear Gas Grenade: Purchased for $7,950, Tear Gas Grenades - when they impact the ground - let out a white cloud the size of a ticker's radiation puddle. This affects Survivors Only. The changes will be listed here:
 * Functions alike to a Flashbang, but with some new mechanics:
 * Deals 2 points of Damage to Hostile Survivors. Prolongs if the target stays in the cloud. Plays the coughing audio when in contact with the cloud.
 * The user's screen gets partially clouded (However can still see clearly), but Name-Tags are temporarily removed for 10 seconds until out of tear gas cloud.

 * Ammunition reduced to 3/6.
 * Explosion Radius reduced to 25.

Brute-Buster Grenade: Purchased for $16,000, Brute-Buster Grenades are what the name implies: If any grenade fails to kill a Brute efficiently, it would be this which has as much firepower within a very small blast radius. The changes will be listed here:
 * Prohibited to use on TDM Servers.
 * Damage is raised to 700.
 * Ammunition reduced to 3/6.

Trivia

 * The China Lake's model was originally developed by Phalanyx.
 * The only changes I have done are the color changes & Meshing it - do not take it's physical form for granted, as it may change if it WERE to be accepted by PlaceRebuilder.
 * Considering the weapon's lower damage rating towards the M202, it is technically, a better M202 in the way of using more clips and attachment use-ages.
 * If added, it would be the second weapon to have many attachments behind the M4A1.

TL;DR
[Straight To The Point]: View Statistics, Some Tips and the Attachment Information; then post in the comments on your overall opinion on the matter.

[Other Notes]: It is not required to read everything. If you wish to do so - do what pleases you.

[EDITS] - N/A

Conclusion
And that concludes the Discussion.

But hey, this is only a suggestion! So if it does get accepted, do not take the stats and model listed here as fact - as they are succeptible to change by the owner's decision if it was.

Hopefully you guys like my suggestion!

Feel free to leave a kudo - either by love or liberty - I am not forcing anyone to like my suggestions.
