So the 10 minute load time seems strange to me. I guess it is because the "specialized reusable firing cap". Would you allow players the ability to buy "specialized reusable firing cap" to pre build grenades and the make it two action to reload (like grenade launcher)? or is the "specialized reusable firing cap" mechanism built intp the launcher and needs to loaded by grenade?
They clearly designed it this way to control action/hands economy if you want both a two handed weapon and a one action grenade ready to go.
If you want a second grenade you can do it with three actions: free action release, one action draw, one action throw grenade, one action regrip weapon. Or get the tactical cyber arm and store a grenade inside to save one of these actions.
With how little damage, how small a range, and how expensive grenades are, I let my players not only reload them as Reload 2, but also ignore the stupid "grenades are destroyed when unloaded" bit AND just have grenades be either "launcher ready" or normal. I would say that usage stayed exactly the same but usability and utility both went way up. Other than that, and the fact that our suspension of disbelief can go a bit further, there are no noticeable changes.
While on it, we also play with a "Strike DC" that's 10+Strike Modifier instead of Class DC for Area-fire and Auto-fire attacks. We love it.
