M79

The is a Cannon-type that is added in the v0.9.1 "" update. It uses 40mm ammo.

Technical
It fires a grenade-like projectile that goes over anything a grenade can, and blows up on impact with anything (walls, trees, etc). You cannot slow down the projectile.

Strategies

 * It could be used in tight spaces. Unlike the USAS-12, it blows up on contact with metal instead of bouncing.
 * You can also use this as a substitute for a grenade in terms of pushing enemies away from cover (behind rocks and trees, usually). Push them out of cover and shotgun them, unlike regular grenades, this doesn’t need to cooked, and is more likely to hit the enemy, making it an easier kill.

Countering

 * M79 projectile speed and range means using any long range guns are useful. Distance yourself from him, and attack with a sniper rifle.
 * Shooting him from long range can give you another advantages too, as holding the M79 slows down the user enough to easily land shots.

Trivia

 * This is the first gun to use 40mm ammunition.
 * It's the first actual grenade launcher in the game.
 * It's the first weapon that has a clip size of 1 bullet permanently. (The AWM-S only had it briefly).
