Description
The portable launcher accepts mission-selected explosive, smoke, stun, ion, and other compatible munitions. Its shoulder-fired configuration gives infantry squads effects that cannot be delivered efficiently by ordinary blasters. Fire teams employ the MPL-57 from covered positions and coordinate ammunition selection with unit commanders.
