The weapon is fed by a two-round detachable box magazine on the upper left side, forward of the user. The magazine retracts into the weapon when chambering each round, similar to the {{Pattern|Pez'tk|fuel rod gun}}. A 2× magnification scope folds out from a module on the left side when activated. Its missiles are able to lock onto aircraft if the operator uses [[smart scope]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Standard warheads used by the rocket launcher are | The weapon is fed by a two-round detachable box magazine on the upper left side, forward of the user.
