But
what about multi-shot "bazooka" style weapons? Some RL examples are
the
RPG series and the Carl Gustav. These often prove to be very useful
against light armor or hard cover, and they are certainly more powerful
than the single-shot variety. Has anyone come up with any rules to
cover
these systems in DSII? >>
Another interesting weapon along these lines is the RAW. This is a near
bowling ball-sized rocket grenade launchable from underneath most any
assault
rifle (if the hardware is installed) A promotional pamphlet on this
talks
about turning the squad into an equivalent of a second world war
destroyer
salovo. Nasty weapon available in HE and HEAT valieties A couple stowed
in
the APC or humped out one or two to the squad gives them a real
barnburner of
a bunker-cracker. These weapons need some kind of representation.
