Once again Assinine Industries is being your low cost weapon system friend by bringing you the newest things straight off the factory floor.

Today the weapon system is the MRM-1. It is just the thing to mount on that light reconnaissance jeep to keep that enemy pest with that machine gun from preventing you from reporting back at what their doing. Its light weight and can reach out and tell that other guy just what you think of him and his lousy machine gun.

Assinine Industries does not suggest at any time that any vehicle that is armed with any of their extra light weapon systems to go up against battle mechs or tanks of any weight class. If someone uses our extra light weapons systems in such a fashion Assinine Industries can not be held responsible for any of the consequences.

MRM-1
Missiles fired per round (1)
Heat (1)
Damage (1)
Range
Min 0
Short 1-3
Medium 3-8
Long 8-15
Tons .5
Ammo special (36)

Weapon cost (Unloaded) 5,000
ammo cost 750
I have no idea what to put for a BV

Explaining weight; weapon weighs .35 tons and the ammo bin weighs .15 tons for 36 shots.

The ammo is internal and no additional magazines can be added.

A critical hit to the weapon is treated as an ammunition hit. All remaining ammo explodes doing standard damage. If there was no ammo left the weapon is destroyed as standard rules.

Since there is only one missile fired there is no roll to see how many missiles hit.

Assinine Industries Is always looking for that next weapon system to fill some niche market that others are not.

One of the teams at Assinine Industries' R&D department got a medium range missile system to take apart to see how it was built and to see what they could do to improve it. Using the successful LRM-1 as a guide the MRM-1 was built.

The MRM-1 prototype was sent to a life firing range to be tested. When the weapon was fired it exploded destroying the weapon and almost completely destroying the firing range's weapon mounting structure. Do to the failure of the test and the damage to the live firing range the project was defunded indefinitely by the R&D department.

One of the researchers would not give the project up and on his own time resurrecting on what created the failure and following explosion. It took him well over a year to find out what caused the failure. The cause was that some of the parts from the LRM-1 where used as a shortcut to build the MRM-1 that where assumed to be up to standards of the design of the MRM-1. He ended up having to completely redesign the MRM-1 do to the problems that not using the plans for the LRM-1 created. As he built the second prototype MRM-1 he got the funding from Assinine Industries Side Line Research Department. Assinine Industries Side Line Research Department maintains funding for people that wish to work on projects on their own time that could benefit the company in some way. It took him almost another year to build the second MRM-1 prototype.

The MRM-1s second prototype was sent to the live fire range and this time it was successfully fired with acceptable results. For his diligence in continuing his research in the MRM-1 he was granted an extra month of vacation with pay and a two week all experiences paid trip to one of the more premier resorts on planet for his entire family.

Less than a day after the successfully firing of the MRM-1 a message from the sales branch of Assinine Industries to a jumpship that was soon to jump into a system that had a HPG. That message was to get all of the sales people that worked for Assinine Industries to try to get as many pre-orders for the MRM-1 as they could. Within days an unused factory building for small production runs was started to be tooled up to start building the MRM-1s that where expected to be pre-ordered. If the project proved to be successful a permanent factory will be built to supply new units and replacement parts.

Now let the newest roast of my ideas begin. =P
Why argue if the glass is half full or half empty, when you know someone is going to knock it over and spill it anyways.

I was a Major *pain* before
But I got a promotion.
I am now a General *pain*
Yay for promotions!!!

Really late to the party, but I have some thoughts to share;
If it only fires one missile at a time and can't use external ammunition stores, it doesn't seem much better than a Rocket Launcher 10. Maybe giving it a simple belt-feeder mechanism would allow it to draw from additional Quarter-Ton lots of ammunition, beyond what is stored internally?

Also, MRMs are intended to be super low-cost, but there aren't any technological obstacles preventing some more expensive alternate munitions from being developed. For example, you could have:
- High Explosive: Does twice the damage (and/or acts as a Tandem Charge missile), but is otherwise unchanged.
- Laser: Fires a laser-guided missile, enabling a Target Acquisition Gear to grant the weapon a -2 To-Hit modifier.
- Thermobaric: Uses a mixed incendiary/concussive payload, causing 1 point of damage and 1 point of heat, while also having a 30-meter area of effect (anything in the adjacent hex to the target will take 1 point of damage and gain 1 heat).
- Extended Range: Devotes weight to a more powerful thruster, thus increasing the maximum range by 65% (rounded up). The increased velocity and unguided nature of the munition make it impervious to AMS.
- Heat Seeking: See the rules for Heat Seeking warheads.
- Smoke
- Anti-Combustion Foam
- Taser Missile

Also, I think the MRM-1 should be compatible with Targeting Computers and the Apollo FCS.
