The '''102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank''' '''(HEAT)''' shaped charge can be fired from [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref> and [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher|M41 Rocket Launcher]]<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref>. As the name reveals, they are primarily designed to penetrate Tank and other vehicular armor, such as that on Warthogs. The 102mm HEAT charges are large, almost as large as the 105-120mm shells that the 21st century tanks used to fire. When fired from the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|M19 Rocket Launcher]], the charge will lock on the target and follow it until it is destroyed or out of sight. Instead, when fired from the [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]], it seems to travel slower and it will not arc or lock on the target.

An M19 HEAT/SC rocket.

The M19 102mm high-explosive, shaped-charge surface-to-surface missile (M19 SSM) is a munition for the M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher[1][2] and M39 rocket turret employed on the back of the M12A1 Rocket Warthog.[3]

Overview[edit]

The M19 SSM is a HEAT and plays the role of an anti-vehicular ordnance. It possesses a blast radius of 15 feet (4.6 m). As such, it is capable of penetrating the heavy armor of even the Wraith; lighter vehicles, such as the Ghost, are typically destroyed upon impact. The M19's blast radius is rather large, making the projectile effective against concentrated groups of infantry.[4]
