+In Vietnam combat, the M79’s major drawback was its single-shot rate of fire and the fact that many grenadiers carried it as their primary long arm, leaving them with only a sidearm after expending grenades unless they also slung a rifle. The minimum arming distance of standard 40mm HE rounds also complicated very close engagements, driving the use of special-purpose ammunition and inspiring repeating-launcher concepts such as the Navy’s [[China Lake grenade launcher]] for SEAL use. The underbarrel launcher concept later addressed many of these issues by pairing a grenade launcher with a standard rifle, eventually leading to systems like the [[M203]].
