Description:
The M8A Single-use Anti-Vehicle Assault Weapon, designed and built by Halcyon Arms, is a single-use shoulder-launched disposable weapon system is intended for use against hard and armored targets, mobile and immobile, up to a distance of 4500 meters away in any weather scenario and even over or around obstacles which obscure the launcher from the target with the assistance of a remote targeting unit wirelessly linked to the launcher-missile pair. The M8A missile can be used against a variety of targets, but utilizing the standard HEAT warhead, designed with a tandem two-shaped charge, is designed to assault tanks equipped with reactive armor and can pierce up to 700mm of armor in ideal situations.
Against mobile targets without sufficient infrared signature for locking, the M68 missile can be guided by the user via a laser-designator equipped on the M8A unit or by a spotter. This method can be used in all modes of attack.
