The M79 grenade launcher was designed in the United States with the intention of giving the typical infantryman more fire-power in a compact package. The M79 is known by a variety of familiar names, such as the 'Thump-Gun', the 'Bloop Tube' or 'Blooper', and in-game: the 'Thumper'. While it was eventually superseded by the under-slung M203, when it was introduced in 1961 it was the best option available, despite being only single-shot. It fires the 40 by 46 millimetre grenade - the same as the M203 - and in real life can fire a variety of different types of grenade. In-game, only High Explosive rounds with an impact fuze are used. The iron sights are an adjustable ladder-style leaf-type, as the heavy and slow grenade projectile will drop substantially over its 350 meter range. In-game, the Thumper is essentially an M203 which resides in your secondary weapon slot rather than your primary attachment slot. The only real difference is that you must aim with the iron sights when firing the Thumper, as with the RPG. If you attempt to fire from the hip there will be a delay as the weapon is raised. The Thumper is useful when you want the explosive power of the M203 but are not using an assault rifle. Of course, it can be used in a grenadier class where you use both the M203 and the Thumper, giving you 4 grenades in total. The arc of the projectiles limits the range of the Thumper but does mean you can land grenades around corners and through windows without line-of-sight. The blast radius means you don't have to get a direct hit on enemies either, so blindly firing into occupied buildings can be very effective. It can be employed against more open areas too. Often to great effect around well-trafficked corners and known choke-points. In any g
