The Thumper is a recurring weapon that makes an appearance in the first two games.
Description
Strike Force Heroes
It's an Explosive for the Commando. It is a grenade launcher that fires two shots before reloading. It is unlocked at Level 8 and costs $375 to use.
It is one of two grenade launchers in the game, the other being the M-32. Compared to it, the Thumper has higher damage, faster reload, lower fire rate and less ammo.
Strike Force Heroes 2
Available for both the Mercenary and the Juggernaut, it shoots sticky grenades that deals great damage. It feels slower compared to the M-32, but due to being unique with such that ability, it works very well.
Details
SFH
The overall weapon contains wooden parts with a large barrel attached onto it. This includes a big wooden stock and the peculiar iron sight, which in real life is marked with the range that is capable to reach if angled correctly.
SFH 2
Adopting a modern, "P90-shaped" design, this weapon comes with a desert tan scheme, foregrip and a top sight that contains a picatinny rail.
Tactics
The Thumper is useful for making arched shots over obstacles, which increases the chances of survival compared to facing the enemy head on. The reload animation is very fast, which is useful in close-quarters situations.

- It's reload animation and sound is similar to the Omar.
- The Thumper is one of the weapons modeled by the grenade launcher in Left 4 Dead.
- In Raze 3, there's another similar weapon called the Thumper Mk V, being a weapon series. Maybe it hints that Raze events are placed years after SFH events?.
