Looking for published location of Infantry Weapon
Weapon Type: Gyrojet Pistol
Styled Name: "Coventry Hand Rocket"
Encountered location: Total Warfare/Tech Manual
Looking for location of Classic BattleTech RPG 3rd Edition Stats and most especially fluff.
Almost Sure it is not
Classic BattleTech RPG 3rd Edition
LosTech Mechwarrior's Equipment Guide
HandBook House Steiner
HandBook House Davion (would not be the first time that they squirrled something into a place it did NOT belong)
HandBook House Marik (Ditto)
Combat Equipment Guide
The Weapon masses 3.1 kg, and has a 5 shot clip.
It is not the Generic GyroJet pistol from CBT RPG 3ed, nor is it the Hold out GyroJet pistol from LosTech.

It is my opinion that all statements should be questioned, digested, disected, tasted, and then either spit out or adopted... RHIP is not a god given shield

first appeared in CBT RPG 2nd Edition form on p.64 (Stats) p.53 (Fluff) of Chaos March.
This is also the book that reveals the model name of the Original Sternsnacht as the "Claidhmor" or rather the anglicized spelling of "Claymore"
Wow... they actually caught me on this one... Still, need something to tell me the CBT RPG 3rd Edition Ranges... I have a good guess on all the other stats.
is it in Brush Fire wars?

Extrapolating From Chaos March
Long Range of 11 Hexes * 5 Meter hexes = 55 Meters
55 Meters / 30 Meter hexes = 1.83 Hexes
1.83 Hexes * 100 Meters = 183 Meters Extreme Range in CBT RPG 3rd Edition
Extreme Range is 38% of the unpublished weapons Maximum Effective Range...
1.83 m / .38 = 509 Meters.
My Guess for the Stats of the CBT RPG 3rd Edition version of the Coventry "Hand Rocket" Gyrojet Pistol based off of CBT RPG 2nd Edition Stats in Chaos March
Name: Coventry "Hand Rocket" GyroJet pistol
Mass 6.5 kg (Total Warfare / Tech Manual)
Ammo Mass .24 kg (TW/TM)
Shots per clip 5
Tech Level D (Tech Level of Age of War / 4th Succession War) (from TW/TM)
Weapon first appeared in 3058
Availability C (Uncommon) (guess based off Chaos March)
Legality E (Restricted / Highly Illegal for Private Citizens)
BT Damage 0.28 (formulaic)
Platoon Value 0.14 (TW/TM) (i get the same value, so i know my BT is right)
(nerf value of 0.5 (5 shots of min 10 shots required for full BT Damage))
Armor Penetrate 3
Damage Dice 5d6 (only combo that gets the correct Nerfed Value)
Splash N/A
Incendiary N/A
Short Range 15 meters (3% of 509) (.5 BT Hex Round up @.5 = TW/TM)
Medium Range 51 meters (10% of 509)
Long Range 107 Meters (21% of 509)
Extreme Range 183 Meters (36% of 509)
Affiliation Chaos March
Notes No AP Reduction at Extreme Range
if the canon stats are found, how close am I?
