Zone Control Viper

The Zone Control Viper is the backbone of Zone Control's line of grenade launchers, and one of the most popular designs ever. It fits under the barrel of most blaster rifles and carbines, and fired by a push button switch. It has served on all sides in nearly every conflict since the Clone Wars, and was one of the first to utilize the now standard 35×40mm shell. It is a rugged, reliable, easy to use design that has existed long enough to have had all the bugs worked out of it. It does, however, have what many consider design flaws. One, it has a two shot capacity. In many situations it is sufficient, but due to the trap-door design of the magazine, it takes approximately 5 seconds for a trained operator to load a single shell. The other is the location of the firing button and lack of safety, meaning that a round may be accidentally discharged if the weapon is wacked just right. It excepts shells up to 102mm in length.
