Grenade Launcher

The Grenade Launcher first appeared in Tomb Raider II and was the most powerful weapon in the game. One shot was usually enough to kill any enemy, with the exception of the Xian warriors. In Tomb Raider III (and every TR game after it) the grenades bounce off walls and explode after some time, while in TR2 they would just go straight and explode when making contact with anything. Each ammo pack for it has two grenades and is anything but very scarce, so use it wisely. In TRIII and onwards, it has the same model as in TRII, but with a revolver-style magazine (see picture above).

In Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation it can utilize three types of ammunition:

Normal ammo: Large shells filled with plastic explosives. Explodes upon impact with a target, doing heavy damage. Oftenly, the most common out of the three types.

Super ammo: Exactly like normal ammo but filled with more explosives. The most rare out of the three grenade types, but also the most powerful, oftenly killing a normal enemy with one shot and doing extreme damage to bosses.

Flash ammo: When it hits the ground, it emits a glaring flash and a loud noise that blinds most enemies upon impact; However Lara won't be affected by it. The weakest out of the three grenade types, but can be very useful in a getaway situation.

Firepower: 10/10

Firing Rate: Must be reloaded after each shot, and slower than the shotgun.
