Grenade Launcher
The term 'grenade launcher' snaps through the hallway as a named military‑grade explosive projectile launcher; the script offers no model, size, or material. Characters never display or touch a device—Josh invokes the name as a verbal weapon, and Wick recoils as humiliation tightens the room. The reference functions as an invisible, charged prop whose power lies entirely in its naming and the reactions it produces.

Purpose
To launch explosive grenades as a short‑to‑medium range weapon (practical function implied but not demonstrated in the scene).
Significance
Josh uses the weapon-name as rhetorical ordinance to shame Congressman Wick, collapse a holdout, and convert political obstinacy into a staged photo‑op. The mention crystallizes the bill’s moral and technical stakes, serving as the decisive verbal cudgel that secures compliance without any physical prop appearing.
