Development: Like most XM589 Designs, this one was not much different from the Carbine or it's shotgun counterpart. This weapon was designed with the added attachment of a grenade launcher. The reason why the Grenade Launcher became under usage in the first place during the Colonial Xeno War was due to the fact that with the Grenade round it fires [M305] was able to create a blast radius able to eliminate a mass amount of Xenos in one area from either a distance or by close range. Apart from the rifle being the same as the XM589 Carbine, this weapon has recently been used for the same usage as it was in the Xeno Colonial War. Nothing else apart from that was developed for the XM589 Assault Rifle.
