[HT] Minimun Range Grenade Launchers Question - Page 2

General Lee · 02-03-2012, 03:45 PM

Guys,

Reading Seals in Vietnam, p.33 , for my new gaming session, I noticed that the minimum range for M79 and XM148 grenade launchers, both with 40x46mmSR HE, are different from the minimum range stated for M203 (and M79!) in High-Tech, p.145. There is a technical answer to that? Maybe a different fuse? Googling it I found that the minimun safe distance to fire a M203 is 30 yards, aproximately, same as in High-Tech.

Or it is the case of an errata?

Other question I have, if it is the case of the minimum distance for grenade launchers being 30 yards. Could I lob the shot in a high-arc to get the +4 bonus, as throwing a hand grenade to attack an area, as described in GURPS: Campaigns, p.414?

Thanks in advance.
