The Rapier missile is a ship-launched missile system used by the UNSC Navy.[1][2]
Overview[edit]
Rapiers are primarily employed against stationary targets such as ground-based facilities and space stations. They are poorly equipped to handle enemy point-defenses and are typically fired in mass-saturation attacks - making them ill-suited for anti-ship usage (though they are still able to be used in this role).[3] Warships usually carry Rapier missiles to complement their Magnetic Accelerator Cannons and other weaponry. Rapier pods usually carry thirty missiles each.[2]
Models[edit]
M75 Rapier[edit]
The UNSC Infinity is armed with 250 pods of thirty M75 Rapiers.[2][4]
