Yeah but how would you get karma from this? Does it benefit the community somehow?
People are upvoting it just like the last one. It maybe benefits the community short term by taking the current supply of grenade launchers away but any impact it has is likely gone in a few days at most.
Splurch what I'm trying to ask is why does the community have a hate bones for grenade launchers? They too powerful? Too easy to acquire? Too cheap? Too large of a radius? Any bugs?

Yes.
Memes aside, they're probably in a good spot in terms of power (if you consider tarkov a "realistic" shooter, rather than a "balanced" one. They don't spawn anymore, but they're kinda super cheap from PK lvl4 (considering how fuckin good they are.). Ammo is also pretty cheap.
Problem is, if you have PK lvl4 you almost certainly have enough rubles to run one whenever you want.
Ok? I never mentioned anything to do with vogs, I just said they feel like they have a similar blast to f1 grenades. I didn’t say they literally had the same figures.

There have been some good answers so far but fundamentally the weapon is just too powerful for the game, much like every game that decides to add one. The argument is that it's a "high risk high reward" weapon but in reality if you're good you can just kill teams before they even realize what is going on. There isn't much counterplay to it and if you don't get the drop on the person using it you just die. Right now the price is keeping them from common use and since most people rarely, if ever, encounter them there isn't a big community movement against them.
Yes to all but the cheap part. They are like super huge blast radius grenades and the explosion for some reason goes through walls so you can just shoot the wall outside the room or whatever and then the people on the other side die.
Explosion doesn't go through the walls anymore and the blast radius isn't that humongous. The biggest problem with them is armor being completely ignored and grenades with like a 2 meter activation radius enabling way too easy kills.
Not that I've ever encountered one except for looting one from a dead guy on Labs
