It can launch any grenade or bomb in a soldier's inventory.

“	A Grenade Launcher allows the Grenadier to launch Grenades much further than other soldiers, and increase the radius of their explosive attacks.	”
–In-game description

“	The grenade launcher is the Grenadier's specialty weapon. It has a substantially increased range relative to throwing. Grenadiers can train several abilities that enhance their use of the Grenade Launcher.	”
