- "This shoulder-fired grenade launcher is not a very practical weapon and requires time to aim your shots in the correct arch to hit targets. It is a mid-range and very damaging weapon and is useful for targets that huddle together (e.g. enemies defending a base). Be sure to have a good mid-range option in your holster and use this for special occasions. This is one of the three heaviest weapons available and does a considerable amount of damage."

The Rotary Grenade Launcher is an explosive weapon in Max Payne 3.
Overview[]
The Rotary Grenade Launcher is a multi-shot grenade launcher modeled after an unnamed 37mm launcher manufactured by the weapons firm DefTech. It is one of the two grenade launchers featured in Max Payne 3, along with the multiplayer-exclusive G9.
Befitting a weapon of its type, the DefTech launcher boasts great firepower, enabling it to take enemies and vehicles alike down in short order. However, its projectiles are rather slow, arc very sharply, and ammunition is rare to come by. It can be modified with a "Golden Guns" upgrade.
