medium tanks. The launcher is disposable but the tracking unit (2.5 lbs)
is reusable. The missile uses IIR to track its target, moving at 200 yds/sec.
Extra missiles (prepackaged in launch tubes) are 12.5 lbs each. A faster
version has a speed of 400 but a maxmum range of only 800 yards (both
use the same tracking unit). It can penetrate about 2000 point of laminate
armor on average.

81mm LW (light-weight) mortar
This mortar is sometimes used instead of the 51mm mortar when a harder-hitting
weapon is needed. However, range is much shorter and the ammo weighs twice
as much. Other ammo includes CHEM (25 yrd radius) and Starshells (500 yrd
radius). Shells are 5 lbs each. The mortar is 14.8 lbs and the bipod is
7.4 lbs.

grenades rather than rocket launchers (a rifleman can carry 4 rifle grenades
for one RL and one rocket). Damage below is for HE; HEAT grenades do 7dx10(10)
and on average penetrate DR 1200 laminate.
