No not the one in game, this is a scrap made one, based off the the first kind of grenade launcher the Hand Mortar (Think a musket stock with a comically large and short barrel)
So here are the Stats
SV:+3 (super unwieldy) Rate: 1/2 Damage: (old style with a fuse) d20+5 within 4m (any auto miss that isn't a fumble has a 1-10 chance of exploding in the user's hands, otherwise grenade is a dud) Ammo: (as outlined above) Grenades, (can't hold relic grenades due to their odd shape) Range:70m Hands: 2 Str:18 Weight:5kg Value:2d20+300sp
They are heavy, expensive, unwieldy, and dangerous. but if you have an army in need of explosive firepower and low on tech, this is your weapon.
Can use ceramic incendiary grenades that last d6 rounds and do d10 fire damage.
End note: i am no good at making homebrew weapons, so if you have a suggestion i will gladly accept it. I just felt that this should be included, considering most armies use old style weapons.

This is a good one! We definitely need some kind of blunderbuss/grenade launcher. For simplicity, I might increase the fumble a few points instead of having another roll. I would allow it to fire relic grenades, rocks, nails, box of bullets, piano wire with fish sinkers.. cutlery.

Well it wasn't a blunderbuss in that sense, it was designed specifically to launch the big bulky grenades they had as a sort of terrifying weapon. But the only downside was it was about as dangerous to the user as the enemy (hence the extra roll, i want the dangerousness of firing it in there) like the grenade of 17th century, it was quickly phased out due to being fairly ineffective and dangerous. but this is the apocalypse! people need weapons and it don't matter if the trigger is a rat trap, people will use what they can to kill the guy next to them.

Maybe a relic mortar launcher! I was a little surprised they added a howitzer in the game over the Mortar, it would be interesting. Another interesting thing would be the Atomic Annie Cannon, i would definitely be interested in that.
