An [[Rocket Assisted Multi-purpose Grenade Launcher]] (4,450.0 grams loaded; [[Cr]]450; [[TL-8]]) incorporates rocket assistance to give the round superior range and flat trajectory capability; the [[RAM]] [[grenade]] is fired both from [[Grenade Launcher|special launchers]] and as [[rifle grenade]]s from the [[ACR]] and [[Gauss Rifle]]. {{Page cite|name= Mercenary  |page=40 |version=Classic Traveller}}
* It is a [[KEW]] [[Light Weapon]].

== Description (Specifications) ==
"[[Rocket Assisted Multi-purpose (RAM) Grenade Launcher]]:" The [[RAM]] grenade launcher fires 40mm [[RAM]] [[grenade]]s at initial velocities of 150 to 200 meters per second, the [[grenade]]'s booster charge accelerating it to velocities of 500 to 600 meters per second. A three round [[magazine]] is inserted in the top of the [[weapon]] behind the pistol grip. Each pull of the trigger fires one [[grenade]]. Reloading requires one combat round, during which the firer is treated as evading. Rounds available include [[HE[] [[flechette]], and [[high explosive armor piercing]] ([[HEAP]]). HEAP rounds have follow-up sensors to enable multiple hits. The [[weapon]] includes an integral [[electronic sight]] with both passive IR and [[Night Vision Sight|light amplification]], as well as a [[Laser Sight|laser painting]] and range finding [[device]]s. A [[sling]] is provided to assist carrying. {{Page cite|name= Mercenary  |page=40 |version=Classic Traveller}}
    
=== Weapon Characteristics ===
Length: 900.0 mm. Weight, unloaded: 4,000.0 grams (40mm [[RAM]] [[grenade]]s weigh 450.0 grams each three-round [[clip]] weighs 1,400.0 grams). Base price: [[Cr]]400 (3 round [[clip]] or 3 round [[bandolier]] of [[rifle grenade]]s costs [[Cr]]50). Extreme range: 1,000.0 meters. [[TL-8|Tech level: 8]]. {{Page cite|name= Mercenary  |page=40 |version=Classic Traveller}}

"Note:" [[RAM]] [[rifle grenade]]s are similar, although not interchangeable, with [[ammunition]] for the grenade launcher. [[Grenade]]s fired from both [[rifle]]s and from the launcher use the semi-automatic fire advantages of [[RAM]] [[grenade]]s, and have the additional range advantages. {{Page cite|name= Mercenary  |page=40 |version=Classic Traveller}}
