History[]
The Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) is an American shoulder-launched rocket weapon.
The weapon can fire two types of rockets; the High Explosive Dual Purpose (HEDP) rocket is effective against bunkers, concrete walls and masonry.
The High Explosive Anti-Armor (HEAA) rocket is effective against most current tanks. Both types are 83 mm.
In game[]
The SMAW usually come equipped with two types of rounds, HEAT rounds for anti-armor and HEF (High Explosive, Fragmentation) rounds for anti-personnel. Typical loadout is 2 HEAT rounds and 2 HEF rounds.
It usually comes with a IR sight, capable of detecting infrared signature of vehicles and people. Each 'notch' inside the scope is about 150m. Aim slightly lower if you are on a elevated positoin and looking down the target. Aim slightly higher if your target is at a higher position.
HEF rounds can still disable (but not destroy) lightly armored vehicles such as an APC or a jeep. If firing one at an APC, try to hit it from the behind.
