The 'China Lake Pump Action Grenade Launcher' is a US weapon, named for the China Lake Naval Weapons Center, where it was developed. Designed in 1967, the weapon first saw limited service the following year, in 1968. The design has its roots in the M79 'Thumper' - a break-barrel grenade launcher that saw use during the Vietnam Conflict. The China Lake's pump-action, magazine fed design was an attempt to increase the readily available firepower to the user - and, thanks to its aluminium construction, it was a relatively lightweight design. Even when loaded with its full complement of 4 grenades, it weighed in at only half a pound heavier than the traditional M79 design. However, the China Lake had issues feeding certain 40mm grenades, and never progressed beyond the prototype stage - with as few as 16 units produced. It was the underbarrel grenade launchers that would eventually displace the M79, such as the M203: and while such designs wouldn't boast the rate of fire of the China Lake, they would prove altogether more versatile. The China Lake fires 40-by-46 millimetre grenades, the very same as used in the Thumper and underbarrel M203. The real-life weapon is able to hold 3 grenades in its tubular magazine, and another in the chamber, for 4 total - in game, however, the China Lake will only hold 2 grenades at once. The China Lake's damage is equal to that of the underbarrel grenade launcher - with a relatively small lethal radius when compared to the other weapons in its class. And while the China Lake can be employed against air support, it's not exactly well suited to this role, dealing little damage to helicopters. Rate of fire tops out at about 30 rounds per minute, although this doesn't factor in reloads, nor the time required to aim. The China L
