Kosuna of Desert Punk uses one as her standard weapon, generally to give her mentor fire support.
Fabiola Iglesias of Black Lagoon pulls one near the end of her shootout in the Yellow Flag, a move that prompts a very appropriate ".the FUCK is that?!" from Revy. The weapon was lightweight (ten pounds maximum, due to extensive use of aluminum, only four more than a loaded M79) and reliable, though had some issues feeding some of the more oddly-shaped 40mm grenades available at the time, while being able to carry up to four grenades at once. First produced in 1968, they were intended for Navy SEAL use, though some were used by Marine Force Recon and the Army 5th Special Forces Group. 
No more than fifty of what is essentially a pump-action version of the M79 Grenade Launcher with a tube magazine are known to have been produced, and no more than six are known to still exist.
