Launchers

Unknown Grenade Launcher

The Neo-Tokyo Army uses unknown Single-shot Grenade Launchers when trying to stop Tetsuo during his break-out. They look like DefTech Launchers with inline stocks and a lack of a foregrip.

"ARASAKA HLR-12X"

Although not really a launcher, particle-acceleration cannons called the "ARASAKA HLR-12X" are used by the army and Kaneda in the final battle against Tetsuo. The "projectile" of these particle-acceleration cannons are really an overpowered laser, shown as being able to cut through tissue and metal objects cleanly and easily - they also tend to go right through their target and hit things behind them. However, these massive super weapons do little damage to Tetsuo's accelerated form.
