China Lake

The China Lake is a pump-action grenade launcher that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
It fills a similar role to the Thumper, however it holds three rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. It chambers the same 40mm grenade rounds as the thumper, but is pump action instead of single shot. This weapon was developed at China Lake Naval Weapons Center for use by navy seals in 1968, but was never put into mass production due to some issues. The pumping action is very slow, due to the awkwardness of the loading system, thus lowering the rate of fire as compared to a pump action shotgun, but is still significantly faster than the M79 Thumper.

It can be purchased once the player reaches level 48.

Trivia
