Overview

This is a 120mm solid-fuel rocket fitted with a High-Explosive warhead. It is fired electronically by a spark igniter inside the launcher's barrel. The fuel is highly stable and resists concussion and heat, though it can cook off if exposed to high temperatures for a significant period of time. The warhead itself is completely inert unless armed by the impact trigger. Fire cannot set it off unless and until it's armed. Like C4 explosive, the unarmed compound inside the warhead will burn rather than explode when exposed to heat or open flame.

Because it carries no onboard electronics, the rocket is impervious to EMP and electronic jamming. All high-tech aiming is done at the launcher. Therefore a properly-aimed rocket will arrive at its target regardless of anything that might happen during flight.

The rocket is meant to be loaded into an HPML Rocket Launcher.


Recommended Doctrine

All soldiers equipped with rocket launchers should carry at least one reload whenever they go out in the field. Two or more are strongly recommended. It is not advisable to send our troops into combat without sufficient ammunition.

None.
