Wunderbar! But if you do care at all, I know a sprite sheet with a more vanilla look.

I spent hours making the sprites, and I'd like to keep as much original content, but do tell....

We already have an M79 Grenade Launcher, but I find this one more accurate. The one we have will be renamed and updated once I get better sprites for it.
I find some of the sounds very loud. The volume of the explosions should be reduced to 0.7 (also they can only go up to 1.0, so setting them to 50 wouldn't do anything) and some of the weapon sounds should be reduced in the SNDINFO:

You should get a new sound for GRNTIM, instead of reusing a stock SuperShotgun sound.
Also you could give it a new ammo type, since it deals more damage than the Rocket.

I saw the M79 but was unsatisfied, so I made this myself. I'm redoing the sprites as we speak. Also, the launcher uses the same ammo because quake's does. I'll probably change the ammo if I can't figure out a better rebalance.

One of the 1st custom weapons I used (WAY back around 2013), always loved this weapon but wished it had a centred sprite set like it does now. Looks fantastic

Well, you reduced the damage, but now it seems to be slightly weaker than the rocket, and it uses double the ammo per shot, and if you're gonna weaken it, then you should reduce the scale of the explosion to three instead of 6.
On a personal note, I think the extra ammo for reloading is unnecessary.
