TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Missile
  • Size: Large

  • Ammunition Type: Packed Baradium, Oxygen-Ignited Fuel Compound
  • Effective Range: 8 kilometers
SPECIAL FEATURES
Strengths:
  • Bunker Buster: The SAW does not actually destroy a bunker, cavern system, or whatever else enemy combatants are hiding inside. Rather, the shockwave from the SAW's thermobaric payload ignites on contact with oxygen, creating a sustained shockwave that "bounces" around walls of enclosed spaces, ideally killing anyone inside due to the blast overpressure.
  • Precise: The SAW can take out a single floor of a building without damaging the other floors and it can "reach" around corners due to the sustained shockwave, wiping out the soft targets within hardened complexes or cave systems.
  • Shield Penetrator: Every KXM-114 missile is equipped with a shield disruptor package, which allows the missile to "pierce" through conventional shielding, theater shields, and planetary shields by creating a temporary gap in the shield that closes behind the missile.
Weaknesses:
  • Cannot work underwater.
  • Does not penetrate armor.
  • Cannot function in non-oxygen atmospheres.
  • Missile can be knocked out by ion cannons or an EMP.
DESCRIPTION

The KXM-114 SAW model is meant to eliminate personnel inside hardened structures. The volumetric "vacuum" missile disperses a cloud of fuel when it impacts the target. This fuel cloud is ignited by oxygen, which sucks up all the oxygen in the vicinity, thus creating a "vacuum." The ignition of the fuel cloud along with the conventional baradium payload creates a much larger and longer wave of blast overpressure than a conventional missile. The shockwave bounces off of any walls in the office structure, bunker, or cave, rebounding around corners and into rooms and killing any targets inside.

As far as I can tell this is just a standard missile turned bunker buster. There is nothing inherently wrong with this as it is technology that totally exists in real life.

However I'd like you to add a weakness of EMP/Ion, as logically this would knock out the missiles guidance system, etc
