Rydine R-5 Anti-Tank Grenade Launcher

147k Pilotmario  8.7 years ago

A man-portable anti-tank rocket launcher, capable of firing an IR beamriding 66mm rocket capable of punching through the armor of most armored fighting vehicles from the front, and the ability to engage the top armor of a tank. To use, depress the forward trigger to arm the rocket and turn on the IR beam. At this point, the missile can be fired. To fire, depress the red trigger. The box behind the launcher is a black powder charge to propel the rocket out of the tube and at a safe distance from the user. The two smaller boxes between the rocket and launcher are sabots designed to keep the rocket in a proper position in the launcher. They are retained in the launcher when launched, but are sheared off by aerodynamic forces when it leaves the launcher. The rocket itself can fly at 200 meters per second, and has a maximum range of 3 kilometers, where the IR beam no longer can reach. This gives the rocket a flight time of 15 seconds. When the rocket can no longer detect the beam under any circumstance, it will automatically detonate. Clever Pilotmario Army soldiers have used this feature as an air burst weapon, timing the termination of the beam in order to detonate over said target. In battles against Olympian loyalists and IJ United contractors, they proved particularly effective against entrenched positions, such as rooftop snipers, foxholes, trenches, etc. This is aided by a built-in IR rangefinder, which shares the same lamp. To switch between these modes, there is a button on the front grip.

    @Flash0of0green There are many people who use Simple Planes to make ground vehicles as well as models of things. Its only a static model, but if you can make this thing work, I will be impressed.

    So let me get this straight you made in simple planes a portable toe rocket. It's not my place to criticize but I don't see how that can fly.
