The M79 Grenade launcher is a weapon that is available in The Operative: No One Lives Forever. It shoots High Explosion (HE) grenades which are capable of dealing so much damage that one-shot kills are not uncommon with this weapon. You can carry a maximum of 25 grenades.
It is a very slow weapon in every aspect: with its grenades traveling at a very low velocity, projectiles have a hovering wind up when shot before gaining speed and weapon itself suffers a long reload time. This weapon won't do much good in close-quarter fighting or as a main weapon when trying to do a stealthy approch. Absolutely, when shot to enclosed spaces from far away, such as guardtowers or small rooms from an angle; it can catch a group of enemies its large blast radius and alert anyone who are nearby and still alive within' its earshot.
