Based on designs dating back to the mid-[[twentieth century]], recoilless rifles launch a high-explosive fin-stabilized rocket at a target while simultaneously venting 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, but allows for recoilless fire and greater thrust potential. The result is a rocket traveling at greater velocities than normal missiles, making them effectively immune to [[anti-missile system]]s and contributing to their growing popularity as these systems proliferate.<ref name="AToWp276">''A Time of War'', p. 276, "Recoilless Rifle"</ref><ref name="TMp268">''TechManual'', p. 268, "Recoilless Rifle"</ref>+ | name = Medium Recoilless Rifle + | Type = Ballistic + | Tech Base = [[Clan]] / [[Inner Sphere]] + | Year Availability = mid-20th century + | Damage = 3 + | Minimum Range = 0 + | Short Range = 2 + | Medium Range = 4 + | Long Range = 6 + | Mass = 375 + | Space Slots = 3 + | Cost (unloaded) = 5,000<ref>''TechManual'', p. 297</ref> + | BV (2.0) = 22<ref>''TechManual'', pp. 317-318</ref> + }} − Heavy recoilless rifles require a crew of three to operate and are far too heavy to be shoulder-fired, but their considerable firepower makes them popular as a defensive emplacement weapon.
