Javelin

Javlin stuff

AT4

SMAW

SMAW stuff

I don`t know which one to pick so i`ll choose the rpg-7 because it  has the best chance for using it like u would in quake  

Also do most of the rockets use up their fuel in t he tube to launch them or do some use a little to clear the rocket from the guy firing then start the engines??

oops and heres the nintendo scope,instead of a lightgun u got a scope which was wireless too,thank god for rechargable batteries.

There was a few good games for it like terminator 2 arcade the game with it and battlecrash but that was about it plus holding a scope for ages hurt ur arms and the diopter sights gave u eyestrain

WHAT?!! it is a rocket launcher  

[Renagade 0]

That RAC 112 seems interesting.

Im starting to sway to the car gustav after some thinking but how do  u load  the shells into it, with the rpg-7 it seems simple enough, do u just stick the ammo down the front like the rpg-7?

and at the truck launcher but my moneys on the infantry knocking it out with one of thier own rockets before the trucks guys even know what happened :P

am pretty sure you have to load it from the rear kinda like the SMAW or the french LRAC 89

AT4

I meant this AT4

Which is not the one in OFP

Well that's not very likely to happen seeing as it's an artillery system and it operates pretty far behind the frontline

APILAS is my favourite, a fine French product, also used by the Finnish Defence Forces ;)

If you want to give it a try in OFP, download FDFMOD.

There are several good m136AT4 addons, so yes that one is in OFP.

do you have a link for that video Nathanz?

I used to have that video. Removed it when reinstalled XP few weeks ago. Search for javelin I guess.

[NurEinMensch 0]

That video has been discussed alot, many think it's fake.

Personally I don't think the Javelin has enough explosives to waste a T72 like that.

[Renagade 0]

Remember in one of the other threads someone posted a link with a launcher on a humvee that shot out an insanely fast rocket that just had a heavy metal warhead and no explosives that whacked a tank.

If u look on securityarms.com there is a pistol and rifle that shoot out rocket propelled bullets like that.

It's in one of the video's at http://www.grouchymedia.com (gotta love our firepower here in america)

I like this one

That thing looks like one of guns that took out a bmp in the film Red Scorpion which was a funny movie in itself,i liked their hinds

Personally i think it does....

[Milkman 1]

That video of the Javelin is not fake, the Javelin is by far one of the most powerful shoulder-launched ATGM I have ever witnessed.

Thats why I like it so much, it completly vaporized that T-72.

[Renagade 0]

yep u were right mr duck,i done some digging and  i think this  is the video for it from the humvee thread  

http://www.uvm.edu/~efisher/LOSAT2.mpeg

also i found the funny rocket pistol too
