E-Web Missile Launcher

About the E-Web Missile Launcher

A heavier cousin of the infamous E-Web repeater, this launcher swaps sustained blaster fire for standoff explosive punch, lobbing self-propelled ordnance across a battlefield to crack armor and shatter fortifications. Imperial heavy-weapons teams and well-equipped mercenary outfits deploy such pieces to answer threats a rifle cannot touch: entrenched positions, light vehicles, and massed troops behind cover. The weapon is a two-hander in name only, since in practice it demands a solid brace or a mount, along with a gunner disciplined enough to account for its arcing trajectory and the deadly reach of its warheads. Setup is slow and the ammunition heavy, but few things concentrate a defender's mind like the whistle of an incoming round. In the right hands, at the right range, it turns a fixed emplacement into the anchor of an entire firing line, and a poorly sited one into a smoking crater.
