I would like to put this GL concept on the forums for anyone to try. If you think you could make a launcher out of this, feel free to take a whack at it.
The basic concept is simple - a GL worn on the right forearm of the marine. For a basic idea of what it would look like, please have a look at the <a href='http://ppc.warhawkenterprises.com/mechbay/kodiiiii.gif' target='_blank'>Kodiak Mech</a> from Mechwarrior 2. In paticular, please look at the back of the hands of the 'mech. The four tubes there are lasers in MW2, but I think they could be made into a quad-barreled grenade gun for NS. Reloading would be done through a hatch on the top of the weapon, near the back. The hatch would pop open, revealing a line of four tubes. 4 grenades would be inserted, and then the hatch closed; thus readying the weapon to be fired. The TSA logo would appear in front of the hatch.
I've bounced this idea off of a modeler, and we agree this would require grenades to be smaller in diameter than typical GL grenades to keep the weapon form being overly large.
Comments or willing volunteers?

Hey, don't you think it'd be right to let us see the rest of the pic, no matter how it doesn't relate to NS.
So basically something along the lines of this only with more than 10 minutes work into it?
Click the link in the original post - it shows the Kodiak Mech's 100 tons of sheer destructive glory.

Just make it a tad more 'massive,' and it should probably be higher on the arm. (more room for a big TSA logo)

Except for the fact that everyone knows the Kodiak sucks, and that Clan Ghost Bear is clearly inferior to the might of Clan Wolf's Dire Wolf mechs. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yea I thought about that too heh... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I don't feel the concept is visually appealing as is and also raise some doubts over if it can be done well. The animations for the default GL are very restrictive. Good luck anyway.
