Shotgun works better against hunters then a grenade launcher for me.

Realistically grenade launchers are useless in close combat unless you're using buckshot or non-lethal munitions because an explosive grenade has to travel a minimal distance of about 100 feet before the warhead will arm. It was a safety measure introduced shortly after the M79 grenade launcher entered service in the '60s to prevent the grenadier from accidentally blowing himself and his squad up. I've heard rumors of SOF units using special 40mm grenades with a 15 foot arming radius, but I've never found anything to conclusively prove it.

I really don't see why you would spend precious grenade launcher rounds to those things Shotgun works just fine.

I've never really used a grenade launcher in an RE game aside from playing around with it for a few seconds (gets so boring) or in Mercs. There are way better weapons to use. For hunters, shotgun is probably the best choice. It works perfectly. Hunters are just...easy. I've been instakilled like once. And I've played RE1 and REmake a lot.

I only use the grenade launcher on bosses.

At least the 3ds is going down in price .....anyway I dont know about the rest of you but hunters are IMO the biggest dicks to ever be in RE....I dont think there is a RE game Where I wasnt killed by a hunter.....you know that has hunters in it.....I played survivor there a week ago and there was no running away from hunters AT ALL it was bullshit on that bridge cause there was like 15 of them and I was like FUCK YOU HUNTERS LOL.....They killed me so many times in so many games T_T I tell myself never to run from a hunter....but I always do and thats what happens

How did you get killed in Survivor? O.o
