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|M41 Rocket Launcher]]<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref>. As the name reveals, they are primarily designed to penetrate Tank and other vehicular armor, such as that on 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 [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|M19 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 [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]], it seems to travel slower and it will not arc or lock on the target.


== Warfare ==
==Overview==
The HEAT 102mm charge will kill or destroy the following:
The rocket is typically "dumb-fired", travelling on a straight path toward its target. However, it is capable of tracking sufficiently large moving targets, typically aircraft.
*[[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.


It has been observed that:
The M19 is capable of penetrating the armor of even the [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Type-26 Wraith tank]]; lighter vehicles, such as the [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Type-32 Ghost reconnaissance vehicle]], are typically destroyed upon impact. The M19's blast radius is rather large, making the projectile effective against concentrated groups of infantry.
*It can be sniped out of the air.
*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).
*In ''Halo 3'' has approximately the same speed as ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', while in ''Halo 2'' is slightly faster.

An M19 HEAT/SC rocket.

The M19 102mm high-explosive anti-tank shaped charge rocket is a munition that is utilized by the M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher[1] and possibly the M19-B Surface-to-Air Missile Launcher.

Overview

The rocket is typically "dumb-fired", travelling on a straight path toward its target. However, it is capable of tracking sufficiently large moving targets, typically aircraft.

The M19 is capable of penetrating the armor of even the Type-26 Wraith tank; lighter vehicles, such as the Type-32 Ghost reconnaissance vehicle, are typically destroyed upon impact. The M19's blast radius is rather large, making the projectile effective against concentrated groups of infantry.
