The favoured support weapon of the Grenadiers is the ferocious Koch-
Mannlicher ‘Vierling’. This awesome quad-barrelled weapon owes
more to the late medieval organ gun than to modern machine-guns,
and only the strongest soldiers can handle its violent kick. When the
trigger is pulled, all four barrels fire in a gigantic and ear-shattering
burst of flame and shrapnel that can lay half an enemy section low and
leave the stunned survivors easy prey to be finished off by the
Grenadiers.
