Scimitar rocket pod

The Scimitar is a hypervelocity rocket pod mounted on the M808B3 Tarantula variant of the venerable Scorpion series of main battle tanks used by the United Nations Space Command. The weapon fires 40x178mm hypervelocity rockets at targets, and is mounted in a twin configuration on the Tarantula vehicle. The Tarantula configuration proved ineffective against the Covenant during the Human-Covenant War, and as a result most Tarantulas were requipped as regular M808B Scorpions with just their M512 smooth-bore high-velocity cannons.
