OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Strengths:
The RR-22 Directed Ordnance Launcher is a durable and, relatively, cheap weapon meant to give the fighting men and women of the Republic an answer to vehicles they may encounter. The design of the weapon allows it to be fed rockets making it able to fire as many times as there is ammo for it making it great for drawn out engagements and the variety of rockets on the market allow it to, theoretically, fight a multitude of targets. As the Launcher, itself, is just a firing tube, aftermarket rockets could be fired from it although any exotic ammunition is likely to cause advanced degradation to the weapon as it was not constructed to handle more exotic components. The rockets fired from the Directed Ordnance Launcher are unguided, as they are Rockets not Missiles, meaning skill, accuracy and a certain level of calm are needed to be an operator of this weapon, however, the 'punch' of this weapon doesn't match up to stronger missile launchers, especially some fire and forgett models, and should be used to go up against the heavier vehicles (unless an angle permits the striking of vulnerable areas), but, overall, it is a solid anti-tank choice of the Republic... and best of all, it can often be reused and easily scavenged from the fallen making it a strong economic choice.

Strengths:
- Right Tool for the Job - The Ordnance Launcher can be loaded with a variety of rockets from AT to HE to Plasma and beyond. The only limit is the rocket, itself as the Launcher, for the most part, is just an advanced firing tube.
- Reliable - As it is just an advanced firing tube, the Launcher, itself, is incredibly reliable and will rarely, if ever, suffer from malfunctions. If there is a malfunction, it tends to be an issue with the rocket.
- Rockets - Rockets, by their very nature, are unguided and while this means sensory jamming technology will not mess with the rocket, itself, it means the user has to 'eyeball' his shots and aim manually at whatever they are firing at, lowering the effective range of the weapon and putting more strain on the user. As it only holds a single rocket before it must be reloaded, they are unlikely to get a second shot if they miss as rockets leave distinct trails.
- Unwieldy - The Directed Ordnance Launcher is a heavy, unwieldy weapon and while it does come with a few add-ons to allow it to be easier carried by soldiers, the weapon, and ammo, are bulky enough that a Ordnance Launcher is more a 'firing' team then a single soldier as one carries the Launcher and a rocket or two, the rest of the ammo is carried by a separate member of the team. Anyone carrying this thing is not moving fast.
