Presumably, you could fire as many LAWs as you want, as they are open tubes. No recoil, no flying.

New vehicle mount. Rocket Rack. 8 LAWs welded together. Comes with 8 rockets, add LAWS to it to reload. Acts as an 8 burst, 8 ammo rocket turret with horrific spread.

Experience says that LAW (M72A5) has nice, break-your-nose-to-the-sights recoil.

We need to implement backblast somehow. Send them zeds flying!

The M106 also seems to have recoil according to one person in another forum who claims to have experience. But all in all, most recoilless rifles shot well, and well maintained don't seem to have any significant or noticeable recoil. There are of course funny fail videos that depict insurgent training videos where the trainee shoots an rpg-7 and is thrown onto his back, though this is probably a result of the weapon being poorly maintained, used, or possibly a prank of the highly irresponsible sort.

Else they wherent bracing for it.

The above is a post by a known troll and ban-dodger. Do not reply to it.

Well, an RPG round is exactly what it is named, a Rocket-propelled Grenade. Rockets do not give a lot of recoil, but the backblast is considerable. Still, there is a lot of force being applied here, and it can translate into torque when a person isn't standing properly, knocking them on their back. (I know this is not exactly what happens, but broad strokes)

Cataclysm should definetly implement this. A person with no skill in handling such ordnance should get thrown on their ass a whole bunch.

Seems I sprung a conversation... What does a LAW look like? I don't recall ever seeing a picture of one

[Krevsin]

Like this. About as basic as a gun that shoots rockets can get.

Here is a good pic.

If I am right the angled bit near the straight up bit is the trigger.

I think I accidentally deleted my Cataclysm folder. >_> <_<

Does anyone have the latest link--the one with the expanded professions and all?

I've heard also that firing large-caliber RPGs (even correctly) can cause up to serious concussions, for instance 112mm APILAS. Seen one fired, but that went without a hitch.

Tiruin, just go on the cata page and donwload the experimental build.
