Bear in mind that a single hand grenade is often heavier and more powerful (especially a defensive one) than a single GL fired grenade. Still they are certainly very powerful weapons and there are several accounts of iraqi infantry units being annihilated by long range AGL fire

Actually AGL is small calibre autocanon.
In my opinion, it is necessary to change a class of the given weapon in winSPMBT.
To make type: Autocanon.
Nope, ballistics are very different.

Its sort of more like a long range version of the old hand held mortar but with rapid ROF I think. Direct fire at close to medium ranges for building assaults etc or arc as a mortar at longer range or to hit units behind obstacles.
My understanding is that mortar like capabilities are generally limited, though curved trajectory can be exploited for hitting targets behind some cover even in direct fire. It is interesting to note that high ROF mortars have failed to gain traction.
