I know the USMC has bought the M32, and that's ok for mounted troops, but I'd hate to see light infantry saddled with them.

Nyles,
I hate to nitpic but the China Lake Launcher was the experimental pump-action Grenade launcher from the 1960's. The EX-41 was a high velocity pump action weapon from the mid 1990's. Some idiot mixed up the nomenclature and now you have alot of people calling the weapons by the wrong names.
I know I'm useing Wikipedia but I hace confirmed most of the info from various sources.
