The Grenade Launcher was first available in Tomb Raider 2. It was a very effective weapon, you could bring down most opponents with one shot. It was also effective against the Dragon or the Stone Warriors (in the PlayStation Version you could destroy them with it, before they came to life)

In Tomb Raider 3 the weapon has a much shorter range (it has more "realistic" properties), generally making it less useful.

In Tomb Raider 2 and 3 you only had standard grenades for the grenade launcher:

Grenades (TR2)

Grenade launcher(TR3)

Grenades (TR3)

Since The Last Revelation you could choose between three types of Ammo. Although it has the same physics as the Tomb Raider 3 one it now does area damage, making it much more useful as it can kill many enemies at the same time.

Normal Ammo, Super Ammo and Flash Ammo.

Grenade Launcher in Tomb Raider Legend

Grenade Launcher in Legend

Grenade launcher in Legend has a three rounds clip and fires 40mm frag grenades in rapid succession.

In Legend, the grenade launcher has fallen from being a favor weapon among fans due to the fact that there is almost no ammo available, grenade does not explode soon enough and regular frag grenade does the same job with less hassle.

In addition to the grenades inside the launcher, Lara can also carry 4 spare clips - a maximum of 15 grenade rounds for Lara to carry.

But in the hand of the mercenary, the grenade launcher is a manace to players due to the fact it can dump a large number of frag grenade at a player within a short amount of time.

This particular Grenade Launcher appears to be an RG-6 40mm Grenade Launcher of Russian manufacture.
