Description (Specifications)
"Rocket Assisted Multi-purpose (RAM) Grenade Launcher:" The RAM grenade launcher fires 40mm RAM grenades 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 light amplification, as well as a laser painting and range finding devices. A sling is provided to assist carrying. [2]
