	A grenade launcher is designed to fire large-caliber projectiles. These projectiles are generally loaded with an explosive, toxic, or smoke warhead that detonate on impact. In this capacity, as its name implies, it is essentially a weapon that launches grenades into the air, from a range farther than one can normally throw. It differs from a [[rocket launcher]] in that the projectiles are propelled in an arc, much like lobbing a grenade, rather than in a straight trajectory.<ref name="ACRG">''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''</ref>		A grenade launcher is designed to fire large-caliber projectiles.
