Ad Victoriam is a specialised variant of the M57 Pilum shoulder-fired heavy weapon used by the United Nations Space Command.
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
- Main article: M57 Pilum
Ad Victoriam is an improved M57 that fires three laser-guided M29 50x130mm rockets in a "V" formation, all equipped with an airburst proximity fuse. The operator can use smart scope in order to guide the missiles with the reticle, and doing so will fire the missiles in a cluster rather than a "V" formation.[4]
Outwardly, the Ad Victoriam retains the standard M57 Pilum's chassis and mostly keeps its original paintjob but adds olive green and red stripes, along with a olive green falcon emblem in the middle part of the weapon on each side. The UNSC logos have also been moved closer to the front of the weapon.[5]
