I would like to see the following missile weapon:
You get a backpack and a shoulder mounted missile launcher.
In your hand, you hold a pistol like device with a scope that you can use.
This device is a target painter, using a low energy laser to guide the missile.
If you launch the missile and hold the fire button, the missile follows the laser beam, which you can move to guide the missile to the target. If you release the fire button, the missile will fly the rest of the way in a straigth line.
If you just click, you have a dumbfire rocket that can be launched quickly. If you take the time to guide the missile, you are visible and you fire rate goes down, but your accuracy goes up.
It will also take some skill to use that target painter. |

Well, its a missile laucher. But not a handheld one, its shoulder mounted (with autoloading from a backpack).
The control is a pistol-like targetpainter with a scope. You can use it to just dumbfire the missile (towards the point you target with the gun), or hold the painting laser the whole flytime of the missile to guide it (allows you to follow the target, eg. make some course corrections after firing the missile).
I would consider it a heavy weapon, as you have to pack a lot of gear (backpack, shoulder mount, the painter is the smallest part of the weapon system) |
