The minor change in design was not accompanied with any nomenclature change. |

This design is used in Metal Gear Solid V, where you fight Soviets in Afganistan in the first chunk of the game. And much like irl, you can use it as both a stand alone weapon or an underbarrel attachment on certain guns. It stood out to me as it was my weapon of choice for early game destroy armored vehicle unit side missions. So satisfying to lead your shot and get the arc just right. |

The MGS5 launcher is (like most weapons in that game) sort of a mashup. It has elements of the GP-34 along with some fictional elements not quite in any GP launcher. The standalone setup for it is also a fictional design. It vaguely resembles the RGM-40 Kastet, but with a lot of liberties taken. |
