Weapon Name- XM25
Type- Grenade Luancher
Damage- 6L at 5 yards, 3L at 10 yards, 1L at 15 yards
Range- 150/300/600
Ammunition- 300 per 27.5
Strength Level for firing- 2
Strength Level- 2
Special Consideration- Only a -1 modifier applies to long range rolls.
The weapon essentially fires a grenade, with the damage of the weapon having little effect on the ballistic trajectory. Rather than adding the damage of the weapon to the typical firearm roll, "Firearm Damage + Dexterity + Firearms", instead add two. Essentially, substitute the fire-arm damage for three instead of the various damage levels.
An exceptional success, or 5 successes represents a 5 yard hit. 3 to 4 successes represents a 10 yard hit. Successes under 3 represent a 15 yard range, with no successes obviously representing a clear miss. The weapon, however, still affects the surrounding areas and effects units and the environment accordingly to the grenades position, regardless of the initial targets position.

Basic Information
It fires 25 mm grenades that are set to explode in mid-air at or near the target. A laser rangefinder in the gun is used to determine the distance to the target. The user can manually adjust the detonating distance by up to three meters shorter or longer. The gun automatically transmits the detonating distance to the grenade in the firing chamber. The grenade tracks the distance it has traveled by the number of spiral rotations after it is fired.[1] These features make the XM25 more effective than traditional grenade launchers at the task of hitting targets that are behind cover or dug into the ground.
The system is under development by Heckler & Koch and Alliant Techsystems, while the target acquisition/fire control is developed by L-3 IOS Brashear. The most recent deployment plans call for a purchase of 12,500 XM25s at a projected cost per weapon system of $25,000.
