*Note* Changes are intended for PvE
I really enjoy using Grenade Launchers. The single shot ones are great in PvP, but I feel the drum mag ones are just lacking a little in PvE. My Permanent Truth only holds 11 shots. That's less than 2.5 mags. Meanwhile, shotguns hold around 3-4 mags worth of ammo.
Considering how Prestige Argos is mainly done with supers rather than grenade launchers this week goes to show how pathetic these are. I would really love to see this weapon type brought into the sunlight a little.
In PvP, I believe if they only buffed drum mag grenade launchers, there shouldn't be too much problems with good launchers like Colony and Play of The Game. However, if they were to buff ammo, I would like it to be universal.

They need both in PvE. They do less damage and have less splash than rocket launchers so crowd control is limited, and since they do less damage they require more shots to kill which leaves them have using up more ammo for the same general damage.
