The '''M19 102mm high-explosive, shaped-charge surface-to-surface missile''' ('''M19 SSM''') is a munition for the [[M41 SPNKR|M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]]{{Ref/Book|Id=evg|EVG|Page=156}}{{Ref/Book|Id=art|AoH3|Page=57}} and [[M39 rocket turret]] employed on the back of the [[M12A1 Rocket Warthog]].{{Ref/Game|HPC|[[M39 rocket turret]] in-game model}}

<center>''Were you looking for the more specific page: [[High Explosive Anti-Tank Warhead]]?''</center>
The '''102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank''' '''(HEAT)''' shaped charge can be fired from [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]]<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''</ref> and [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]]<ref>''[[Halo 2]]''</ref>. As the name reveals, they are primarily designed to penetrate Tank and other vehicle armor, such as warthogs.. The 102mm HEAT charges are large, almost as large as the 105-120mm shells that the 21st century tanks used to fire. When fired from the [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher|M41 Rocket Launcher]], the charge will lock on the target and follow it until it is destroyed or out of sight. Instead, when fired from the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|M19 Rocket Launcher]], it seems to travel slower and it will not arc nor lock on the target.


==Overview==
== Warfare ==
The M19 SSM is a [[wikipedia:High-explosive anti-tank warhead|HEAT]] and plays the role of an anti-vehicular ordnance. It possesses a blast radius of {{Convert|15|ft|m}}. As such, it is capable of penetrating the heavy armor of even the [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]]; lighter vehicles, such as the [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]], are typically destroyed upon impact. The M19's blast radius is rather large, making the projectile effective against concentrated groups of infantry.{{Ref/Book|Id=enc11|Enc11|Page=328}}
The HEAT 102mm charge will kill and destroy the following:
*[[Scorpion Tank|Scorpion]]/[[Wraith]] tank in two direct hits.
*[[Banshee|Banshee Ground Support Aircraft]]/[[Hornet]] in one direct hit.
*[[Spartan]] in [[MJOLNIR]] with one direct hit or if the target is within a two-foot blast radius.
*[[Covenant]] Infantry, of ''any'' caste or rank, [[Hunter]] included with one direct hit. It will take two hits from blast radius damage to destroy a [[Hunter]].
*[[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]]/[[Chopper]]/[[Mongoose]] will die in one direct hit.
*[[Warthog]]/[[Spectre]]/[[Brute Prowler]] in 1 to 2 hits depending on hit location.


==Production notes==
It has been observed that:
*The exact designation of the M19 missile has seen numerous changes throughout the franchise:
*It can be sniped out of the air.
**102mm High-Explosive Shaped-Charge or 102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank missile in ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}}
*If timed correctly, a [[Gravity hammer]], explosion, or even a [[sniper rifle]] or [[battle rifle]] can cause it to spin out of control, and eventually explode. This method can also cause the rocket to flip backward at the person who fired it it the explosion is placed correctly, possibly killing them (Halo 3 only).
**M19 SSM 102mm High-Explosive Shaped-Charge in the ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}
*In ''Halo 3'' has approximately the same speed as ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', while in Halo 2 is slightly faster.

*HEAT missiles were first developed in World War II for anti-tank usage by the Allied forces. They were used in their M9 Bazookas against Axis Panzers (tanks).
