Background[]
Developed by the COG as urban clearing weapon, the ML/GL-H4vv was first introduced in the 51st year of the Pendulum War. One Squad of GEARS, armed with the still pre-production model proved the efficience of the new Launcher as they cleared an UIR Outpost with the Havvik Launched HE-Grenades. The losses for the UIR forces were fatal, with over 150 fallen under the heavy bombardment. The GEARS otherwise were even not noticed thanks to the "Mortar-Launching-System"(MLS) of the Havvik of being used as hand-artillery. The Technology behind the precise MLS was almost lost when the COG GL-H4vv-Factory was destroyed during the 72nd Year of the Pendulum War. The POINT-Rounds, fired from the Havviks, are silent and send pre-configured signals for the GL-H4vv that fired them. This prevents enemy captured H4vv's from using the same POINT-positions that other Havvik Grenade Launchers fired. Only fewer than 7 Havvik Light-Mortar/Grenade-Launcher remained in the late Human-Locust War. Mass production began after the war.
Ammo[]
The POINT Round
Developed prior the Pendulum Crisis in the Golden Age for Civilian and Commercial uses, it was soon reused for the Military. The POINT is essentially a microsize Transmitter that sends Satelite-configured signals to the Grenadelauncher that fired the Round.
The Grenades Rounds
The Havvik Light-Mortar/Grenade-Launcher uses Frag, HE and the infamous PYRO-Grenades. The Frag and HE Rounds were developed during the Pendulum Wars. Each was fitted with a microstabilator and a microchip. The PYRO-Grenade was created when the COG requested a anti-Locust weapon that could end the War.
