DESCRIPTION
Imagine a nice human squad grenade launcher, carried by an eight- or nine-foot-tall warthog. Imagine the weapon has been tailored for cold-weather operation and big strong hairy tridactyl hands.

The VLK Blue Ice grenade launcher is pretty close to top of the line, a limited custom order from Merr-Sonn Munitions. It's meant for two scenarios: boarding starships whose interior geometry is expendable, and shelling the utter feth out of hostiles dumb enough to set foot on Toola.
