Revision suggestion: APA-1 Rifle Grenade Attachment
In anticipation of greater armored threats in the future, our foot soldiers will need a reliable way to engage heavily armored targets with their primary weapon. This modification should be the first step in giving us a reliable way to remove heavily armored targets from the equation, with further modifications allowing it to effectively engage light armored targets if the enemy moves down an unexpected path. Modifications to the muzzle allow a 400 mm 550 gram fin-stabilized rifle grenade to be attached to the end, with a 50-400 meter sight ladder allowing it to be effectively aimed. The grenade uses a bullet trap to propel itself to the target, allowing a standard round to be chambered for its use. It should be quick to fire, a soldier needs only to place the grenade, chamber a round, aim, and shoot. The grenade itself is a shaped charged that detonates upon nose contact, ideally allowing it to pierce through 350mm+ armor or double that penetration in concrete.
Further (not in this revision) modifications could allow for more grenade types, such as fragmentation to deal with lower-armored targets.
With power armor in the equation, weight becomes less of an issue while armor becomes a major issue. While modern rifles are basically all capable of firing rifle grenades, 40mm support/under-barrel is generally preferred. Power armor generally means we'll need heavier rounds than what a modern soldier would expect to use, we can theoretically ignore the recoil of the grenade and fire this from the shoulder, and we can have every soldier carry multiple grenades thanks to their enhanced strength. Just for a general explanation of why I picked this over a grenade launcher attachment :VQuote from: VOTEBOXAPA-1 Rifle Grenade Attachment (2): Stirk, Tyrant Leviathan
