The 102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) shaped charge can be fired from M19 SSM Rocket Launcher and M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher. The 102mm HEAT charges are large, almost as large as the 105-120mm shells that the 21st century tanks used to fire.
Warfare
The HEAT 102mm charge will kill and destroy the following:
- Scorpion/Wraith tank in two direct hits.
- 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/Chopper/Mongoose in one direct hit.
- Warthog/Spectre/Brute Prowler in 1 to 2 hits depending on hit location.
- It can be sniped out of the air.
- If timed correctly, a gravity hammer 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, possibly killing them.
