M19 missile

An M19 HEAT/SC rocket.

The M19 102mm high-explosive anti-tank shaped charge rocket is a munition that is utilized by the M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher^[1] and possibly the M19-B Surface-to-Air Missile Launcher.

Overview

The rocket is typically "dumb-fired", travelling on a straight path toward its target. However, it is capable of tracking sufficiently large moving targets, typically aircraft.

The M19 is capable of penetrating the armor of even the Type-26 Wraith tank; lighter vehicles, such as the Type-32 Ghost reconnaissance vehicle, are typically destroyed upon impact. The M19's blast radius is rather large, making the projectile effective against concentrated groups of infantry.
