U.S.GUNNER STANDARD EQUIPMENT

1. 4 Fragmentation Grenades

**With the exception of the XM148 version of the CAR 15 rifle (which is detailed below, of course)**

These are very helpful. Though a gunner is well equipped to handle infantry, against armored vehicles their rifles might as well be B.B. Guns. So, when you're a gunner and you see a tank coming round the corner, say hello with a few grenades and blow him sky high.

Keep in mind that right clicking with the grenades drops them slightly forward of where you are. So if you're in a building and theres a tank below you you can't see, drop a few grenades on top of him.

And Josh (who you'll find in the credits section) sent me an email with more right-clicking tips:

"It is worth noting though, that your actually supposed to HOLD DOWN the right click to adjust how far the grenade goes...Just clicking the right click is a great strategy, but there are tons of uses for holding it down for a little bit - like to throw a grenade over a short fence."
