The XM510 Multishot Grenade Launcher is a semi-automatic grenade launcher used by the United Nations Space Command armed forces.[1]

Overview

Design details

The XM510 is a shoulder-fired, semi-automatic grenade launcher. The weapon features a revolving swing out cylinder, from which grenades can be loaded. The weapon is additionally equipped with a telescopic sight and a foregrip.[2]

Operational history

The XM510 was employed by UNSC Marine Corps forces during the early years of the Human-Covenant War. In 2531, Marine forces attached to UNSC Spirit of Fire deployed with the weapon in the Harvest campaign, Battle for Arcadia and Battle of Trove.[2] Marines armed with the XM510 were regularly employed as passengers in Warthogs.[1]

Gameplay

Halo Wars

The XM510 appears in Halo Wars, as the second upgrade available for the Warthog. When unlocked, the Grenadier upgrade adds a single Marine armed with an XM510 to the vehicle's passenger seat, boosting offensive power slightly.

Production notes

The XM510's design is based directly off of the South African-built Milkor MGL Mk.1 and the later M32 MGL variant used by the United States Marine Corps.

Trivia

The Official Strategy Guide for Halo Wars mistakenly refers to the "XM511 Heavy Grenade Launcher" as the "XM510" in a caption describing the weapon mounted on the M9 Wolverine.[3]
