| The '''40mm Grenade Launcher''', also known colloquilly as a '''Forty Mike Mike''' by [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] personnel, is a [[weapon attachment]] available for the [[MA5B]] and [[MA5C]] Assault Rifles<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGAssaultRifle</ref>. Though never used in the games, it was originally meant to be part of the MA5B during the development phase of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], while it was still intended for the PC. As such, its canonicity was debatable until mentioned by Bungie in a description of the [http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGAssaultRifle MA5C].

| The attachment is fitted under the barrel, replacing the [[Torch|flashlight attachment]] standard to the MA5 series. Presumably, based on its designation, it fires 40mm grenades at the user's targets. Grenade launchers [[Wikipedia:M203 grenade launcher|of this type]] have been in usage since the mid and late 20th Century.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In a UNSC remark, a [[Marine]] said that the the only thing that would make my MA5C any better would be forty millimeter grenade launcher and a slung shotgun. In the first [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] build, orginally for the Apple Mac, there was supposed to be a grenade launcher attached to the Assault Rifle.
