The Squad Rocket Launcher is a multi-role support weapon, with a bore-loaded overcalibre ("RPG" style) warhead. It is designed to be used as a multi-role assault weapon. The SRL can be fired from enclosed spaces and has little visible backblast due to its use of the Davis Countershot Principle. (The backblast is taken up by a mix of plastic rods liquid counter-shot that is still dangerous to those behind the weapon.).
The basic weapon consists of a disposable launch tube, rocket, and warhead. It is fitted with a simple removable sight and trigger assembly, and is disposable. It is designed as a simple weapon to be issued in general.
The advanced launcher system consists of a sturdier re-usable launch tube, a carrying case, and an electronic sight and guidance system, and a rest. A spare parts and cleaning kit is also included. It consists of an ejector and spring, extractor, dummy extractor plug, bolt-head retaining pin, plastic cleaning rod with brass tip, bore and chamber brushes, camel's hair brush and a prismatic bore scope. It is designed as a dedicated specialists weapon.
Because the weapon is bore-loaded, it easier for a single operator to
re-load. The launch tube is less bulky and different calibres of
projectile can be launched from the same tube. The launcher is capable of both
high angle and direct fire.
