The soldiers found that keeping a round in the chamber, ready to fire, was unsafe; they opted to keep the weapon empty until needed.Duh! Wouldnt want an unsafe weapon in a combat situation now would we!

Duh! Wouldnt want an unsafe weapon in a combat situation now would we! Since we are talking about a grenade launcher here, we certianly wouldn't. One AD with one of those will ruin your whole day, and there is only one safe direction, that is somewhat elevated and well away from you or your buddies, to keep the thing pointed, which might get more than a bit tiresome.
