This is an add-on weapon for the MK17 Phaser rifle and the TR-116 it is commonly used by marines to provide heavy direct firepower against lightly armored infantry or fortifications. The weapon is attached to the handgrip of the weapon and links into the weapons firing controls. Firing of the launcher is by a small thump trigger on the handgrip of the weapon (NB: the weapon will prevent firing of the round if there is danger of the firing marine been caught in the blast radius.) Loading is done by individually loading the grenades into the breach of the launcher, where they are fired by a magnetic repulsion.
