Not airsoft, more pyro related, but Im making myself a milsim rocket launcher.
Its starting to take shape. I refuse to pay £400 + for a wooden or resin replica.
Its for me to use in our eastern bloc milsim games and is designed around a government weapon made by the fictional eastern bloc ex soviet state of Moldistan.
I'm creating the M5 70mm Recoiless Rifle developed by Korporatsia Takticheskogo Moldistan (KTM), the Moldistani nationalised weapons producer.
Essentially designed for anti-tank, anti-building and anti-personnel roles, the carbon fibre based unit is light, compact and highly portable (Just over 1m in length). It fires rockets which can be rear loaded by a second person in the team and which are clipped into a removable frame. Ignition is electronic and aiming is achieved by a red dot sight, which allows easier use at night when wearing NV goggles.
BRIEF FACTS
Range: 300m
Penetration: 500mm steel armour
Ammunition:
HE Anti-Personnel Air Burst Rocket with Timer
Rocket Assisted HEAT Anti-Armoured Vehicle
Future development of a laser guided Ultra Light Missile munition is said to be planned. This is rumoured to increase the range to 1500-2000m and improve accuracy and could possibly enable the M5 to engage low flying air targets.
