in the 'Operation' section, it says: "In its '''mounted''' form, the Missile Pod is used by Marines as a rocket-powered mortar by firing its missiles vertically into the sky. This allows the missiles to hit targets from above, inflicting maximum damage and leaving less time for the target to avoid the strike; '''however, in its mounted form''', it can't hit targets on the ground up close easily"- this doesn't make sense, but I don't know which 'mounted' to change. Could someone fix this?

==SGM-151== | |||
After working on the Prototype page, I noticed something interesting. Before even the official information was released on Waypoint, many, including myself, had noticed the striking similarities between the missile fired by both the Missile Pod and the prototype exoskeleton tubes. After last weekend, I saw that the exoskeleton's weapon system was called the LAU-1810/SGM-151, obviously a cousin of the LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod. And, since I was interested in why the missiles were identical, I noticed that the SGM-151 designation at the end of each weapon's name is a commonality. | |||
And so I wondered why I hadn't realized that SGM means Surface-to-Ground Missile and that this last bit after the slash in each weapon name refers to the type of ammunition it uses: The SGM-151. So I would like to get a stamp of approval before I create the page. The HEAT rocket has one after all...--[[User talk:Nerfherder1428|Nerfherder1428]] 17:31, April 25, 2010 (UTC) | |||
