-==== About the Wz-W4000 ==== 
- 
-The Wz-W4000 launcher started out as an ambitious weapon, that was reworked repeatedly. At one point the weapon was intended to allow an unarmored soldier to be a threat to power armor, to be useful as a support weapon for power armored infantry, and as a weapon designed to better exploit digital minds, electronic warfare, and advances in weapon design that haddn't quite made it to the frontline soldier yet. In the end, the weapon became a simple, easy to use launcher for the Super 40mm round.

The main grip has a fire selector on the right side with a safe, normal, and a normal+optics on option.

The receiver for the ammo magazine uses up most of the length of the weapon forward of the trigger, and has a forward grip section for the second hand.
