New weapon: The Aviators Fist, based on the fliegerfaust#1686

B

A hand held weapon based on the ww2 German Fliegerfaust (Literally pilots fist/plane fist, hence the in game name), primarly intended for taking down drones.
This could be used against airborne or ground enemies, but is primarily intended to be used on airborne ones.
Th fliegerfaust is a nine barreled, 20mm, recoilless, unguided rocket launcher, which fires high explosive rockets based on the famous minengeschoss rounds.
In game it would have two fire modes: salvo (all 9 barrels fired at once), and normal (one barrel fires at a time, semi auto).
There would be a few different ammo types for this weapon:
Tier 1.
He: Standard High explosive.
Cannister: basically 20mm shotgun shells.
Tier 2.
He-Timed: He that will detonate mid air after a short time if it doesnt hit anything, basically mini flak.
Tier 3.
He-Proximity: He with proximity fuse.

This weapon could have a range of up to 500 metres, just like the real life fliegerfaust, however accuracy at this range would be low, with ranges of only a few hundred metres being more effective.

It would be loaded with a new 20mm ammo.

The name is WIP, could also be named “Shrike”, after the tiny bird that impales its prey on branches or other sharp objects.
Or “Microburst”, after the meteorological event/occurrence, which has been known to bring down aircraft.
