Gre is the most badass butler since Alfred.

And something to note that each party member is named after a weapon:
  • Mag's name is used for the Mag Launcher in Titanfall.
  • Linear is likewise named for a fictional weapon, the Linear Cannon from Gundam.
  • Gre on the other hand is named for a real life weapon as his full name is Gre Nade as in grenade.
  • Chain is named for the chain gun.
  • And finally we have Pepper who's named after the pepper-box revolver.
Mag's dad Asroc also has this naming convention as he is named after the RUR-5_ASROC.

You're citing Titanfall? Mag launcher is another name for a railgun, plain and simple.

You might want to cite your source for that cause I didn't find anything to suggest that beyond the fact that the Mag Launcher in Titanfall is itself technically a railgun.

Ignoring the fact that Evolution came out a good 16-odd years before Titanfall, a 'magnetic launcher' is a valid name for a railgun. That's what they do, they use electromagnets to, well, launch things.

I don't question the validity of mag launcher as a colloquial term for a railgun, Titanfall was just the first result I found when I looked up "Mag Launcher" and it made sense given what Mag's butler is named after.

In case anyone was wondering, Carcano is named after the Carcano series of rifles and carbines.
