Allow Removal Of Rocket From Launcher

Post by Steelpoint » 04 Aug 2015, 10:17

Summary: Allow anyone to remove a rocket from a loaded rocket launcher.

Benefits : Make it easier to be flexible instead of having to leave the rocket unloaded or carry less rockets.
This is war, survival is your responsibility.

I'd presume, considering it's reloadable, it'd work something like the modern day SMAW, which is unloadable. But if it's a prepacked disposable warhead launcher like the LAW, no chance.

EDIT because reasons: How a SMAW works is a rocket tube is slid into the back of the launcher itself, clicking into place, you fire it, take out the empty tube, put a new one in. How a LAW works is, it's literally a tube of metal, plastic, or composite with a 69-75mm warhead packed inside. Once fired it's basically scrap metal. Most of the time you'll see after the LAW is used in heavy combat, it's merely discarded.

Again, considering its reloadable I would have to imagine the designers allowed for the warhead to be removed should it prove to be unneeded or of the wrong type. It doesn't seem to be like the LAW, in both design and function. Plus the LAW packs a very low yield warhead, the rocket lawnchair ingame is supposed to be much higher yield according to lore. +1

Well, it has disposable in it's name, but it is not disposable. *shrug emoji*

Disposable and Unreloadable are two different things. Disposable launchers are usually made from cheaper plastic, metal, or composite materials so if need be, in a combat situation if you run out of ammo for it, you can ditch it to carry other useful things.

In other news, I give it a +1.
