Template:Ratings Template:New Content Template:Weapon Infobox The MG460 Automatic Grenade Launcher, MG460 AGL for short,[1] is a vehicle-mounted UNSC grenade launcher found mounted on the UH-144 Falcon. Not much is known about it, other than it appears in place of the Falcon's usual door-mounted machine gun turrets. It may work similarly to the M319 Individual Grenade Launcher as evidenced by its rounds' behavior and the close similarity between the two weapons' computer display, although being possibly fully- or semi-automatic, opposed to the M319's single-shot break-action.
Firing Modes
The grenade launcher has two firing modes. Repeatingly pressing the trigger will cause it to fire grenade rounds. If you hold the trigger it will act like the M319 Individual Grenade Launcher and cause an EMP on detonation, disabling turrets, vehicles, and aircraft.
Trivia
- This weapon is similiar to the modern day Mk 19 AGL [1], which is also automatic and also is mounted on aircraft.
- Despite it's name, there is way to fire the weapon automatically in-game. This is most likely due to it being based on the coding of the M319 Individual Grenade Launcher in all areas except for how it looks and the fact that it is mounted on a vehicle.
