Excellent idea! And of course the RL should have a potentially lethal back blast like the original, crazy fun guaranteed with n00bs & dumb bots...

More commonly know as the FLASH rocket launcher. You might remember this sucker from Commando. Here are a couple of websites that explain. http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/infa ... /M202.html http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ ... d/m202.htm I think this would make an excellent edition to the ballistic weapons pack. Any thoughts? |

Well there have been quite a few request for an anti personal RL and this appears to fit the bill |

Oh yeah I remember this thing! They were truly nasty. Add a rocket that brusts into flames on a target and you have some fun. For BW you could have a secondary fire mode spray a gout of flame right out of the launcher. Plus having a nasty back blast would be fun. Dont fire it when your jammed into a corner Kiddies.

well it sounds nice to me, hopefully it won't be overpowerd. |

The secondary could be to fire all of the rockets at once in a random pattern like the shotgun. I was thinking this could be a super weapon like the minigun will be. This could replace the redemer where ever it may spawn on a map. |

Yeah, the redeemer is replaced by the bop gun atm, wich is powerfull too, but not as powerfull as the redeemer. |

Hmm I dont know about a super wep. If you make it anti person then it would do small explosion damge then after damage by catching the target on fire and those in a small radius around it. TO be a super wep it would almost have to be able to take out a large area and vechiles to boot with a single shot. I like it as a man to man weapon system more, but that just me. 
Edit Nice to see someone else calling the shotpistol the Bop Gun.

sounds pretty cool
if not too hard, can be one of the simple weapons

I think we've all pretty much agreed that lighter rocket launcher would be good, especially as an anti-personell weapon, and most of the suggestions have been for a multiple-launch weapon. Aright. I like it well enough, even though napalm rockets would kinda bother me a bit. But that's okay, it'll still be awesome. |

Ya, I honestly believe that this weapon would improve variety and increase the cool factor in ballistic

It would be fun to have a rocket launcher that was low recoil high fire rate with a selector switch. You could sparay and pray snipe or burst fire. Rockets would be small with a small intense explosion with little or no splash damage. You would have to hit your target to get a kill no firing at the feet to dance your target. Add to that they would go a long way and would be a hazard to anybody downrange. Droping the napalm effect would work or you could have a small tight flame that damages only the target. No scope just an iron or cross sight and rockets would be dumb fire.

A multi ammo light rocket launcher would be even better!  Shrapnel, incendiary & poison (cloud), for example. If all (4?) rockets are fired simultaneously, their combined area damage should be roughly the same as that of single incendiary / poison grenade. If 2 are fired 50% etc. Direct hits do serious, though not necessarily fatal damage. That would keep things reasonably balanced, imo.

I like my idea of a lighter RL better than this. |

Remind me of your idea. Or remind me where to find it, as I recall I liked yours a lot too. |

It is somewhere in the later posts of the big suggestions thread, you'll find it since it's has 200+ posts. I'd give you a link but I'm kind of busy. |

this would be good, but i prefer the light rocket launcher that Bjossi thought up. |

Found it. Bjossi wrote: So here is a bit more details about that idea.
Clip size: 6 Rate of fire: 2.5 seconds Size of rockets: 8x5x5 centimeters The G5 rocket launcher is such a heavy and awkward weapon that it is dangerous to use it due to the low rate of fire and only 2 rockets capacity it has. So the UTC have developed a lighter version of G5, the Prototype-1 Light Rocket Launcher. This weapon is much lighter, almost 0.6x the size of the G5. The rockets are small enough that you can carry up to 3 - 4 extra clips. The speed of the rockets is quite a bit faster than the G5's, but they do much less harm than the G5 rockets. However, the fast rate of fire and the high speed make them just as deadly, if not a deadlier weapon that the G5. Plus, reloading is much faster, putting a new clip in is fast and easy. |

yep thats the one, thats the one RS needs to make. |

Any maybe I should add that the rockets leave a thin & white, but dence, trail of smoke as the travel. |

Yes, that sounds nice. Why don't you go discuss it in your thread.

Ahh we love the flame rocket too.  Truth br told having light anti personelllauncher and a large area daming launcher would be pure gold.

Thread = hijacked! Yeah. . .napalm missiles still kinda bug me. I'd rather see 'Jossi's made, if it came down to it, but I'd REALLY like to see both these ideas done. |
|
| Author: | ShadowBlade [ Fri Sep 15, 2006 2:59 am ] |
| Post subject: | M202A1 Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon |
maybe like a simple weapon design.. sounds fairly good, both.. |
|
| Author: | Bjossi [ Fri Sep 15, 2006 8:39 am ] |
| Post subject: | M202A1 Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon |
Yeah, both sound great. And as I said before, you always like your idea better even though you deny it sometimes.

it was accaulty in my thread, and i didn't care plus this is more or less a thread about alternative rocket launcher. |

| Post subject: | M202A1 Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon |
Terran does have a point though. RS have read and said maybe to my idea, so now it's just to see what happens in the future. But let's keep this thread on topic, or not post at all, ok?

Hmm, looking back my idea does seem a bit simple. It looks as if people want more complex weaponry. I do think we're on the same page though. A light, multi-launching, anti-personel weapon is what everyone wants. |
|
| Author: | Bjossi [ Sat Sep 16, 2006 6:59 am ] |
| Post subject: | M202A1 Flame Assault Shoulder Weapon |
Exactly, and I think it'd be a good idea to make both of our ideas. They have similar concept but different functionality.
