Editing M79 grenade launcher (section)

==Tactics==
*Use the M79 to thin out the oncoming horde; have [[pipe bomb]]s scattered around so if too many specimens get close, none will get through. Also, use a melee weapon or a sidearm for those awkward times when specimens are too close for you to fire your launcher safely.
*Pairing the M79 with a [[Shotgun]] is a common and viable tactic.
*If the player is carrying an [[M32]] as well, rely on the M79 for groups of weaker enemies, or for softening groups up - save the M32's raw destructive power for the larger specimens such as the [[Fleshpound]], and stick close and rely on your team for taking care of small threats up close.
*The M79's grenade is nearly impervious to the [[Siren]]'s scream - very rarely will it detonate in mid-air. If one can get a clear shot, take it.
*If an enemy is too close, aim at the floor/wall behind it. This will let you avoid most of the explosion's damage.
*Try not to use grenades on the [[Scrake]], and instead signal your team and let them deal with it. While the M79 can stun the Scrake at lower difficulty levels, it can't do enough damage - taking 10 or more grenades on higher difficulties.
*To kill bigger enemies, you can throw hand grenades on the ground near a target (known as stacking), and then hit it with an [[M79]] or [[M32]] to cause all of the grenades to explode simultaneously.
*As an off-perk weapon [[Berserker]] can carry it easily without having to worry about blast damage as Berserkers can resist blasts like everything else pretty well. Another volunteer is [[Support Specialist]] as they have higher grenade capacity and damage just like Demolition Experts, M79 can serve as a device to set off stacked grenades.
*The M79 may be too weak to kill a siren in one shot, but the explosive force does throw them around quite a bit.  Keep this in mind, as a grenade that detonates behind the siren means she's going to fly in your face. Conversely, a detonation in front of the siren will push her back. A blunt shot into her face is also enough to decapitate her, since it does damage to the head. This also applies to the husk.
*When reloading the M79 grenade launcher remember to switch weapons. This can be done after half of the actual time, allowing you to act during reload.
