Ah, the Brunswick RAW (Riflemans Assault Weapon). It was fitted to an
M16
and launched a 1.27 kilogram HE package that pancaked against the
target.
It was intended only for shortranged urban combat. Essentially a large
rifle launched grenade.
And is nicely taken care of in the Assault rules. Consider the assult
equipped elements of infantry to be equipped with items similar to this.
I'm going to look further at the rules for IAVRs and see whether or not
the mesh with my knowledge of the larger infantry portable rocket units.
I have a mind to also include a set of rules for infantry semi-portable
GMS/H's. ala TOW II in its ground emplaced role. Not really portable
like
Milan, but its still a heavy GMS in many ways.
