Intent: A new Rocket Launcher that will be produced by the Orion Corporation and will be sold on the open market.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: The Orion Corporation
Model: X-60
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: No
Production: Mass production
Material: Primarily Plasteel, Steel casing
Classification: Anti-tank Rocket Launcher
Size: Shoulder-mounted
Length: 1200mm
Weight: 10 kg
Ammunition Type: AT Rockets (60mm)
Ammunition Capacity: 1 Rocket
Effective Range: 350 metres
Rate of Fire: Single action
Special Features: It's not that exciting, jeez.
Description:
The X-60 is shoulder fired and only weighs 10 kilograms, it allows for it to be carried by a single person. Even though this weapon does not have any targeting systems and is direct firing, it is highly accurate up to ranges of 100 metres (this can vary depending on what projectile is being fired). The heat produced from firing the X-60 exits from the rear of the barrel/tube therefore preventing any risk to the handler but creating considerable risk to those behind the weapon. When firing, the user must stand a distance of 8 metres from any rear surface to remove the chance of injury from the blowback. This blowback also helps to reduce to recoil of firing, reducing the stress and force put onto the user. When fired the projectile will travel at a speed over 350 metres per second, this is classed as a slow moving projectile and therefore should only be used against large targets or vehicles. The average reload on the HE Rocket takes 3.5 seconds, however the heavier and more expensive AP Rocket can take up to 6 seconds due to the radically increased weight. (I will also be making a Tech Submission for both of these Rockets)
Strengths:
Highly accurate a close ranges
Can be carried by a single person
Safety precautions have been added
Type of rocket can be changed
Weaknesses:
Single shot reload
User must stand 8 metres form any surface situated behind them
Projectile travels at “slow” speeds
Unlikely to hit smaller targets at long distances
Long reload on both types of Rockets
Weight of the X-60 and the Rockets make it unlikely the user will carry spares
