The GE-35K[1] or more commonly known as the AMP Grenade Launchers are a pair of snub-barrelled incendiary grenade launchers used by the RDA in the Western Frontier.[2] They are only found used by the AMP Grenadiers and the Mercer's Guard AMPs.

Description[]

Whilst it bares superficial similarities to the Chunker, the AMP Grenade Launchers differ in that it is more situated for ground-based targets than sea-based ones.[2]

They are a pair of modified snub-barrelled automatic grenade launchers with reinforced armoured panels that could launch a dozen grenades at quick succession.[1] The rapid firing rate is compensated by a large ammo belt connecting the twin-linked weapons together. The grenades it fires are incendiary high-explosives, allowing for a rain of devastating explosions that shower the area in a hail of fragmentation and fire.[2] This makes it incredibly lethal but also prone to collateral damage as the indiscriminate firing will destroy anything within its blast radius.[2]

Another feature is that the grenades are timed rather than impact-based.[2] This is to minimize potential friendly-fire accidents. As the AMP Grenadiers fire them in an upward trajectory, they behave more like mortars than grenade launchers, acting as large artillery pieces in the process.
