SPECIAL FEATURES

- BOOM BABY: The explosives may not be there, but the EMP or Ion splash damage have their own "capabilities".
- EASILY PORTABLE: The weapon itself weighs a total of three standard pounds, the ordinance inside of the launcher is virtually all of the weight making this something that could simply be slung over a shoulder like a rifle.
- VERY SIMPLE TO USE: Extend the launch barrel, bring up the sights(aiming where you want), flip the safety, press the button on top and watch the rocket go.
WEAKNESSES
- ONE AND DONE: While the weapon can be reloaded, it takes far too long out in the field, especially for a Special Forces Team. Thus the reason why each member carries one of a different kind.
- BUILT WITH ONE TARGET IN MIND: While this can be considered an asset considering the target, it is not really feasible for much of anything else. They could collect more dust than notches on their barrels.
Originally designed with one target in mind, the FTB Rocket was repurposed and reworked into a light anti-armor weapon that coule be carried with other gear. The design worked. This is not a perfect incendiary, but it is good in the field for the purpose it was designed.
