The StA-18 GL is a lightweight, semi-automatic, 6-shot grenade launcher.
It was developed when the Home Defence Legions saw that they needed a lightweight, short to medium range grenade launcher. It is a relatively new addition to the Legions' armouries but has been combat tested in clashes with armed dissidents in the rural areas of Iksandria. It is a multiple-shot weapon, intended to significantly increase a small squad's firepower when compared to traditional hand thown grenades. The StA-18 is designed to be simple, rugged and reliable. It uses the well-proven revolver principle to achieve a high rate of accurate fire which can be rapidly brought to bear on a target. A variety of rounds such as HE, HEAT, chemical-gas or incendiary can be loaded and fired at a rate of one per second; the cylinder can be loaded or unloaded rapidly to maintain a high rate of fire. Although intended primarily for offensive/defensive use with high-explosive rounds, with appropriate ammunition the launcher is suitable for anti-riot and other security operations, making it a common sight in the hands of the Public Security Forces.
