The Best Grenade Launcher/Bazooka

My vote goes to RE5. (Some may be confused by this, as RE3 was previously my favorite. I have recently been to a friends house where we proceeded to play RE5. We mainly used the Grenade Launcher.)

2nd, RE3. Introduced the Freeze/Nitrogen rounds. Perfect range.
3rd, RE1. This is because of the tremendous range and lack of ammo.
4th... RE2. Horrifying range. Seriously. It's pretty much Resident Evil's equivalent of the Miss-Launcher from Fallout 3. Ammo is too common.

I like the CVX one. Don't know why.

FYI, a bazooka is a WWII anti-tank weapon and not the same thing as a grenade launcher.

The RE1 grenade launcher is called 'bazooka'.

It's still not a bazooka.



That is a bazooka.

Yeah, I know, but that's the reason why he mentioned a bazooka.

Best grenade launcher? What an odd question. Dunno, they're all cool. I just like the amount of different ammo for it. We already have like 7 different types of ammo for the gun.

Yup. RE1 called it a Bazooka despite it clearly being a Grenade Launcher.

The reason this thread exists is because of my profound love of Grenade Launchers/Bazookas.

Were you an one man army noobtuber in MW2?

Even though this is a grenade launcher (and bazooka?) thread, I'd say the best weapon of this kind was the M66 Rocket Launcher in RE3. It's the same that was used in the end of RE1.

I'd say the most EFFICIENT grenade launcher was in RE5, as the rounds flew straight and not in an arc.

I hate first-person shooters. Except Fallout 3. But that is pretty much an RPG. I also like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That's a fun game.

Yeah, I don't like Call of Duty either. My bro plays it alot. I like Halo though. Especially Combat Evolved.

Elder Scrolls is an awesome series. Are you anticipating Skyrim?

About the bazooka, the actual one, there has been only two times it has been used in RE. Once by Nemesis and in Survivor.

Halo CAN be fun sometimes.

About Skyrim... I just hope I can get a feeding tube and an IV Stand to feed me and hydrate me respectively. For I probably won't emerge from the computer room for days, no weeks.

Again, like I said, two different classes of weapons. Lumping them together like that is like classifying assault rifles and machine guns as the same thing when they clearly aren't.

But whatever, I'm done. I've made my point. A grenade launcher is not a bazooka (even if it's called one in a game) and a bazooka is not a grenade launcher.

Ha, I was confused for a second. I thought you mean a rocket propelled grenade launcher when you said RPG. But you meant role playing game.

Technically, "RPG" stands for "Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot", which translates to "hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher".

The ammunition itself are rocket propelled grenades though aren't they?

You sure know a lot about the army.

Just don't start an argument with him about munitions. Unless you want to be hanged with words.

I almost never use the Grenade Launcher in RE5. Just never found it all that great. I'll try using it again.

I feel the same way. I mainly used an M500/Hydra combo. Just thought they were fun.
