• Reliable: The launcher has a backup sight and a mechanical firing mechanism to ensure the weapon rarely fails to fire.
• Recoil: The sturdy design and backblast helps to keep the weapon’s recoil low.

WEAKNESSES

• Unguided: Despite the HUD and fire control system, the weapon is not designed to fire smart munitions.
• Ammunition: The weapon can only fire a single missile before needing to reload, making it a slow firing weapon.
• Electronic: While difficult, a powerful EMP or ion attack can still disable the weapon’s onboard HUD and targeting system.
• Blast: The backblast of the weapon can severely injure people directly behind the user.

DESCRIPTION
A much cheaper and lighter alternative compared to the very powerful Model 29 missile launcher, the Model 21 is a simple mechanical design capable of firing a variety of affordable, powerful unguided ordnance. A far more popular alternative for soldiers needing a simple weapon capable of taking out vehicles or emplacements in a split-second situation. What helps the weapon greatly is the onboard targeting system and assisting HUD that can aid the user in tracking and firing at any targets, whether they are moving at a distance or only a stone’s throw away from them.
