OK folks, the Shoulder-Launched, Multi-Purpose Guided Missile, Type 231 "Archer" System

(Image)

Included are the missile itself (Arrow), Missile tube (Quiver) and the Launcher Unit (Bow). The Arrow Missile comes in several variants, and can be launched from Helicopters, Tanks, APCs, MATUV utility trucks, and of course the Bow launcher. Most common varients include: Silver Arrow, an anti-armor rocket equipped with a duel charge to defeat Explosive Reactive Armor and a depleted uranium penetration rod followed by a 105mm high explosive charge. The Silver Arrow is designed for top-attack, much like the Javelin rocket, and can take out most tanks and Light Armored Vehicles with a single hit. The Fire Arrow, an incendiary variant intended for use against jungle cover and personnel. Typically helicopter-launched, though it is available for infantry and Armor. The Golden Arrow, a high-explosive variant designed to penetrate bunkers and other fortifications. Like the Silver Arrow, it is capable of top-attack. All "Arrow" type rockets are capable of using four guidance systems, for redundancy and further multi-purpose use: Thermal, Built-in Laser, External Laser Designation and Computer-Guided. In Thermal mode, the rocket is locked onto a heat signature, and tracks it. In Built-in Laser, the laser guide from the Helicopter, Armored Vehicle or Shoulder Launcher is used to paint the target. In External Laser Designation, the rocket locks onto a signal from an infantry laser designation device, allowing it to be launched behind cover and guided by a forward scout, or helicopter-launched and infantry guided. In Computer-Guided mode the rocket is launched, then taken over by the BattleNet System, which guides it to it's target using GPS and other methods. This allows the rocket to be fired at a target outside of visual range, and used like artillery. The Archer System has a range of 11 km, and weighs 6 lbs, unloaded. The rocket canister weighs 7 lbs 5lbs or 6 lbs, depending on variant.

I hope that weight is for the storage cansiter alone.

For 11km from a ground laucnhed missile you are talking 20-30kg with a Command launch unit weighting at a good 5kg+


As it is your image really doesn't suit such a really high end ATGM and looks more a fancy version of SMAW.

More likely stats are each complete round (rocket in launch canister) massing about 6-9kg with a max range of 1600m when fired in a javelin style arc and 800m for direct fire.

guidance will liekly be an imaging infrared (IIR) sensor that has a back up semi active laser homing (SALH) mode, basically what you described but put in the porper temrianology. It is very unlikely that you'll be able to squeeze a laser desginator into the main launch unit so the SALH mdoe is more likly to be there for Lock on After Launch (LOAL) non lien of sight engagements.

Warhead wise you only need one tandem HEAT/shaped charge system (i.e. a small precusor HEAT charge to deal with ERA and a main penetrator charge), justa porgramable fuze for different targets, i.e. for tanks it detonates to maximise penetration for softskin targets and aircraft both charges detanate at once and from the front rather than the rear of the shaped charges thus converting the liners into a bunch of shrapnel. Of course a follow through charge system (a forward shaped charge followed by a HE-frag charge that travels through the hole made by the shaped charge) would be a nice option if you msut have seperate rounds.

Brit, your .454 SMG must now be capable of rechambering for .460S&W

It's an 11.5mm bullet with more muzzle energy than 7.62x51mm NATO when using 300/360gr rounds.

I actually went for the .454 Casull as its overall length was 45mm, which was exactly the size I needed for the helical magazine I had drawn.

I could redo it for .460S&W, but if im doing that why not go for the .50 Alaskan

Ideas for an early sixties-era battle rifle cartridge?

I'm having some difficulty coming up with ideas for an infantry weapon to replace the current gyrojet.

Here is a picture, if it helps, I suppose.

7.62x54mmR isn't too horribly different from 7.62 NATO. I'd say that he could go 7.62 NATO if he's "Western," but, for some reasons, that rifle looks Warsaw Pact-ish to me, so 7.62x54mmR might make more sense.

He modified one of Nick's Rifles. I'm guessing he either had it saved somewhere or found a quote with Nick's rifle in it.

With a cartridge like that it depends mostly on how good your sights are, how well trained your soldiers are and how good the enemy is at staying hidden.

Most engagements take place at <300 m because spotting the enemy at longer ranges becomes increasingly difficult, but a battle rifle with good optics used by someone who knows how to use it can accurately hit things at 500-800 m

Yes. If it's History or Politics (kinda) then I can probably help. Here's an example pertaining to JFK:

Now, don't listen to the History Books. They'll tell you that JFK was a great man who was responsible for ushering in a new age of cooperation between the USA and USSR, alongside his interior achievements. He wasn't. All of his foreign policy achievements were caused by the Triumvirate of 'Mom's Home Made Apple Pie': Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and George Washington. The Bay of Pigs invasion, whilst a major failure of 'Merican force projection, was directly influenced by the triumvirate. When JFK heard about the planned invasion he hid in a cupboard and cried because he was scared of all the men with guns, and so the invasion went ahead without any of the support he could've granted. Now, after the exiles were defeated Castro was preparing to annex Wyoming and Ohio before marching on from there straight to Miami. Luckily the whole fleet was met a mere mile from the Cuban shores by the Triumvirate, who proceeded to destroy it with the power of the good old American FN SCAR and Desert Eagle.
The Cuban Missile Crisis was again saved by the Triumvirate. Once again, sensing danger, JFK hid in a cupboard. This left the three with no time to think of a plan, so they split up and looked for clues dealt with a specific danger each. Abraham Lincoln rode his Grizzly bear through Cuba, destroying all of the missile sites with The Emancipator, his good old American M416. George Washington traveled to Moscow and killed everyone West of the Urals to prevent any missiles being launched (yeah, he also broke the doors on the silos before they were automatically fired, he's just that badass!) and to make sure the US and A would be the greatest nation ever. Finally, Teddy Roosevelt tortured then enslaved convinced some Big Foots to carry him (they swam, he stood on their backs) to the Soviet fleet on its way to Cuba. He then proceded to destroy 90% of it as an example to the remaining 1/10. You heard of the 14 ships turning back? There was 140 before Teddy got there.

Now, whilst the Soviet Union is no longer a threat due to the efforts of the Triumvirate of 'Mom's Home Made Apple Pie', a new threat rises on the horizon: China. Meanwhile, the Triumvirate sleeps, ready to rise whenever America is threatened.
