DESCRIPTION
The Wild Dog missile launcher was designed by Vulpesen to provide his men with a weapon that that could devastate enemy vehicles and personnel with pure explosive power. Utilizing the technology of revolving grenade launchers, Vulpesen decided to lower the reel for the grenades to make room for a non-arcing explosive in the form of a missile which is loaded using a break action.
Loading 20mm grenades, the VSF Wild Dog is capable of firing multiple types of rounds, from gas grenades, to EMP, and Baradium explosives. The VSF Wild Dog Missiles also come with three different types for HE and HEAT rounds; dumb fire, laser guided wherein the laser is connected to scope, and heat signature lock on.
As with all VSF weaponry, the Wild Dog is built with an internal faraday cage and Veran Royal Guards are given a Teradin wood inlay on the stock and grip.
