 |
|
| Hi, I was wondering if there was actually a reference for a shoulder mounted concussion missile launcher. If so, how much does one weigh, and what's the ammo capacity on it. I had an idea for a small version which is similar to the Predator's shoulder mounted laser, which has and ammo capacity of 5 taking into account that each missile is about the width and length of the 40mm grenade rounds used today. Any ideas, comments, suggestions, let me know. |

My Weapons Stats book has lots of shoulder-rocket launchers. Don`t think there something quite like the Predator`s, with that auto-aiming thing, but there`s plenty.
You can get it over on Tools.

But then again, you got some powerful sticks in there as well, so you might be able to...

An easy way to handle situations like this is to simply base it off something in the real world, then give it a Star Wars description. For example, 40mm grenades, well, the Concussion grenade does 5D, so giving the small launcher a 4D to 5D damage range would be appropriate, with a reasonable range. For missile launchers, I am sure on any number of the thousand thousand worlds in the galaxy there are all variety, shapes, sizes, and functions of missile launchers, ranging from 1 shot disposables, to multi-shot, belt fed monstrosities. It all comes down to what you need/want to convey in your world. Just try to keep in the feel of Star Wars. For rough damage ranges, compare various character scaled weapons and weapons systems.[/i]
