    This may sound stupid, but what does the Grenade Launcher use for ammo? Grenades? Fuel?

    Thanks

    I can't rightly remember - it's either bullets or fuel though.

    Its worth it. One grenade launcher shot is the same as throwing an explosive grenade. Just buy a bunch of fuel or make a bunch

    No I believe it takes Explosive skill and a little of Firearms, Im not positive tho. Its a schematic so I dunno the requirements.

    Because it's a firearm, it takes the firearm skill to use.

    However, it takes a high explosives and a fair gunsmithy skill to make.

    There are only 4 types of ammo made into the game. Charges, Fuel, Arrows, and Bullets. It was made with only 4 for YOUR convinience. Would you rather it use a grenade instead of fuel? It would be alot tougher to use.

    no, I was just saying, it just seems odd that a weapon that fires gernades, doesnt need grenades to function

    you see .. you must be too magickly inclined to understand...

    this is way more advanced tech than we have in our world..

    the reason it uses fuel is the grenade launcher, uses ordinary rocks of the ground loaded into the gun and it uses 1 of the fuels in a fusion chamber inside the gun and the other fuel is used to power the fusion to form a grenade in the chamber.. which is then launched.. I'd post the equations/physics behind it but it would probably be over your heard

    and they were'nt going to make you collect rocks as there is an over abundant supply of rocks in the world of arcanum so it may seem silly at first but there is a very plausible explanation behind it.....

    *though I'm not claiming my explanation is the plausible one

    How about the Blade Launcher? Uses bullets or daggers?

    Well, that is pretty dumb, isnt it? If there was a blade in the nossle of a gun and you loaded it with six bullets, it would certainly backfire or explode.
