The Vom Feuer Snowball Launcher is a weapon featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of The Chop Shop update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Snowball Launcher is a festive version of the Vom Feuer Compact Grenade Launcher (inspired by the sawed-off "Pirate Gun" variant of the M79 grenade launcher), modified to fire snowballs. It features a unique festive-themed tint, as well as the serial number "HOHOHO".
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Unlike its parent weapon, the Snowball Launcher does not need to be reloaded; the weapon is automatically loaded with a new snowball after two and a half seconds when the weapon is discharged. A progress bar is displayed in the top right corner when the weapon is reloading, similarly to the Stun Gun. The cooldown cannot be skipped by switching to another weapon.
The weapon's projectiles are similar to the thrown Snowballs, allowing the player to knock down pedestrians and splatter snow on vehicles. Unlike the thrown snowballs, however, the launcher's projectiles are significantly less lethal, and are no longer capable of impact damage against vehicle headlights and windows. Firing the launcher in public will not cause panic among pedestrians, but it will get the player a wanted level if used with police in the vicinity, and it will trigger a 3-star wanted level if used against police. It may also force drivers to leave their vehicle if hit by the projectile.
Despite the weapon having a high range statistic in the HUD, the snowballs' initial velocity is quite low (40 m/s), making the effective range of the Snowball Launcher fairly short. It also cannot be used as a drive-by weapon.
The ammo capacity for this weapon is unlimited only when snowy weather is active during the Festive Surprise event, otherwise it only holds 20 rounds and cannot be refilled.
