Recoilless Rifle (Heavy)

Heavy Recoilles Rifle

Overview

The Recoilless Rifle (Heavy) is the heaviest type of recoilless rifle available to infantry. It works by launching a high-explosive rocket at the target while simultaneously ejecting high-velocity gas, known as backblast, out the rear end of the weapon. The backblast can be dangerous, which for the heavy rifle extends out to a range of 10 meters. The recoilless rifle can fire a wide variety of alternative warheads, including anti-personnel, anti-vehicle, flash, gas, inferno, Narc, smoke and stun. The heavy recoilless rifle is too large to be shoulder-fired, limiting its use to defensive emplacements. However it provides much more firepower by firing a larger warhead than the smaller variants.
