First it was the FN SCAR Assault rifle then it was the grenade so whats next? Well i’m sure the ofp gaming community are familiar with anti-tank based weaponry? Unlike the FN SCAR riffle this piece of military kit is American made! The missile launcher is man portable so targeting enemy tanks within game should be a breeze and introduce interesting gameplay.

The anti-tank guided missile was introduced to replace the m47 dragon an old ageing launcher which was decommissioned in 1995, it was used in the gulf and iran/ iraq war. Its main failure was due to the underling fact that the missile could not effectively destory enemy targets.

The FGM-148 costs $80,000 so lets hope there is no Counter Strike based shopping carts! pretty much doubt it anyway! The javin is a fire and forget based weapon. The missile will lock onto its target and use automatic guidance to reach its destination and can reach upto 150 metres in altitude!

The technical more interesting features includes the main warhead (exploside projectile!) which includes two explosive warhead charges. Interestingly the two warheads act in two stages. The first warchead is detonated to destroy any reactive armor any vehicle may have where the second warhead is purely for maxium penetration and damage of the target. What was also interesting to point out was that the missle does have a launch delay, this is a safety feature so the operators dont actually get experience of back fire. (Was fun to watch the missile launch within the video footage!).

The weapon is totally mobile so imagine game-play when using this missile launcher to be fairly quick paced. Even though the footage didnt directly show human exposure the launcher does require a two man team within operation.
