Blanch-Chevallier Grenade Launcher

"Despite its failure to attract official attention, Chevallier's idea for a shoulder-fired grenade launcher was ahead of its time. Whereas rifle grenades had to be fired braced into the ground, the recoil reduction system and tall tangent backsight were intended to allow the weapon to be fired from the shoulder"-Royal Armouries Collection

Essentially it was attempt to make lobbing grenades safer and with a familiar firing system too bad it didn't see continious development but it boy it does sure look cool!. Textures made with a standard PBR workflow with 4k Textures my main purpose of making this was trying to achieve a closer attempt at replicating real-world materials and more of a practice piece!.
