Scatterpack weapons

A new approach to missile weapons introduced by Frontier Armaments and Security Association (FASA) is the scatterpack concept. The idea is similar in application to antique slug-thrower designs that propel several projectiles at once. Frontier Armaments has taken this concept and applied it to concussion grenades and concussion missiles.

Scatterpack - concussion grenade launcher

These are short-ranged weapons which fire high-explosive shells in clusters, similar to miniature rockets. Three models are available:

SGL 2-pack
SGL 4-pack
SGL 6-pack

Scatterpack - concussion missile launcher

The SML series is designed to provide saturation fire at longer ranges. The models available are:

SML 5-pack
SML 10-pack
SML 15-pack
SML 20-pack

A full detailing of ranges and other statistics is available on the COMPREHENSIVE WEAPONS TABLE. These smaller-than-normal ordinance rounds are launched in volleys and strike in a pattern that improves a gunner's chances of putting his rounds on target. Of course the more skilled a gunner is with his weapon the more rounds he is likely to put on target.
