Mk.19 Automatic Grenade Launcher. Belt fed, fires 40mm grenades.

Of course, this article was written by the media, so we have no idea if this is correct or not, but there is such a thing... They're quite nifty! Of course, this isn't the sort of thing you can buy at a typical gun show or store. In fact, they conveniently leave out the fact that NONE of these weapons are commonly available at gun stores or for purchase by civilians.
