Editing One-Shot

A '''One-Shot''' weapon is a missile launcher that has only one shot to fire. All [[SRM|short-]], [[LRM|long-]], [[MML|Multi-Missile Launchers]], and [[Torpedo]]s can be modified in this way. Rather than being linked to one or more one-ton ammunition bins, a one-shot weapon weighs an extra half-ton to represent the round inside it. The One-Shot missile system was introduced in [[2676]] by the [[Terran Hegemony]]. It served to provide a little bit more firepower when space and mass were at a premium. The advantage is that the single salvo of the One-Shot launcher can inflict some more damage that an opponent may not expect, and the lack of ammunition prevents damage from an ammunition explosion. The downside is that the One-Shot missile launcher's damage usually isn't significant. The limited ammunition and high weight penalty of the weapon led to it falling out of service around [[2800]].<ref name=tm230>''TechManual'', p. 230</ref><ref name="SSWp102">''Second Succession War'', p. 102, "Weapons and Equipment Extinction Table"</ref>

A One-Shot missile system can use [[Artemis IV]] or be equipped with [[Narc]] capable munitions.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 206</ref> One-Shot [[Streak]] missile systems and One-Shot Narc systems are also possible.<ref name=tm230/>

Despite their re-introduction in [[3030]] by the [[Free Worlds League]], One-shot missile systems are rare, and becoming rarer with the propagation of the [['Mech]]-sized [[Rocket Launcher]].<ref name=tm230/>

One-Shot missile launchers can be mounted on nearly any unit type, including [[battle armor]].<ref>''TechManual'', p. 171</ref>

The [[Improved One Shot]] missile system is derived from the One-Shot missile system.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 327</ref>
