I also tend to think underbarrel grenade launchers should still be able to be used with rifle skill as it was in 2.0, for direct fire at least. Using indirect fire is another matter which GL skill should be used for.
Automatic grenade launchers are an interesting situation - autogun because they fire bursts, or grenade launcher because they have a fairly slow moving round on an arcing trajectory?

So basically less than .50 means rifle, and the larger stuff for Autogun? Makes sense.
With AGL's I split the difference. Autogun for Direct Fire, GL for indirect.
