The XM511 Heavy Grenade Launcher is a 60mm grenade launcher used by the United Nations Space Command. The weapon is most commonly used mounted on the dorsal surface of the M9 Wolverine, complementing the vehicle's primary M260 Multiple Launch Rocket System. The XM511 offers potent firepower against infantry and light vehicles, though the Wolverine still requires combined arms support for defense against heavier targets.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
