Its primary weapon systems are five [[Yaeger-6]] [[SRM-6]]s, two in each wing and one in the nose, which can be targeted in groupings from the individual launchers or separately to maintain a spread. However, limited storage space means there is only one ton of ammo, which is just enough for 3 salvos from each of the 5 launchers. These SRMs are backed up by paired [[Ringer Technologies Model 1]] [[PPC]]s also in the nose, which use high-density chamber coils to create a narrower beam that will not disrupt the SRM's flight path. The narrower beams also concentrate firepower on a smaller area, though these hot-running weapons are partly responsible for the fighter's poor heat management. Finally the ''Ironsides'' has two wing-mounted [[Allied Technologies Model 2]] [[medium laser]]s, which have proven to be a constant thorn in the fighter's sides; extensively firing these lasers can rupture the power-chain housing which controls the flow of power to the weapons, resulting in an explosion and considerable damage to the wing structure. Three recall efforts failed to eliminate the problem, resulting in many modern pilots having little respect for the fighter.<ref name=TRO2750-74-75/><ref name=TRO3050U240-241/> + The wide range of weapons mounted on the ''Ironsides'' allowed it to fill many of the gaps in fighter technology of the time.
