pcelt Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Can javelins be fired from inside buildings through a window--or only from a roof or outside? Thanks for a clarification Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVulture Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Can javelins be fired from inside buildings through a window--or only from a roof or outside? Thanks for a clarification Cheers You can fire them from inside a building - I've done it plenty of times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted December 12, 2009 Author Share Posted December 12, 2009 Thanks Vulture-I have been deploying these on rooftops where they soon attract much unpleasant attention. Hopefully they will be less conspicuous inside a room. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 "The soft launch capability of the Javelin allows it to be fired from inside buildings and bunkers." Pretty cool. That quote was taken from here; http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/infantry/antiarmor/Javelin.html BFC did their homework. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
souldierz Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I could have swore i seen this one time.Never seen it after or even tried again but a troop fired a Javelin from the hatch in the back of the Stryker.I gotta try to do it again so i know I'm not going crazy.Like i said tho i seen it once and I'm not even positive about that,it was a while ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryujin Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 There is no AT backblast in CMSF, so all AT weapons can be fired from anywhere. This seems to be a concession to the fact that there are no interior rooms modeled, which would dictate where you could safely fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be a concession to the fact that there are no interior rooms modeled, which would dictate where you could safely fire. That's true for the REDFOR anti-tank RPGs and the REDFOR/BLUEFOR portable one-shot unguided anti-tank weapons, Ryujin, but not for the REDFOR ATGMs. You can't deploy them inside buildings, AFAIK, due to their lack of soft launching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Can RPG's or AT4's soft launch? Or is the back blast radius to small to matter? I am really hoping beyond hope that they have the old CMx1 effect in the CMX2 WWII games, where there was a chance of setting the room on fire if fired indoors.

AT4 has a mod involving a slug of water that disipates the back blast. youtube soft launch video Yes its Future weapons so hardly a "technical" program lmao 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 That's true of American AT4 but not Russian AT-4. When mentioning the weapons people always either accidentally forget or include that pesky hyphen There's several old RPG-7 operators manuals online that explain just how much room behind you need to fire from an interior. Its not something to do from inside a closet, that's for sure! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M136, RPG-7, RPG-29, LAW, etc really don't soft launch either (keep in mind the US doesn't issue the AT4CS). The RPG-7 needs about 20m of open space (60 degree cone I think?) behind the shooter for the launching charge (the main rocket fires later). The M136 on the other hand is said to have a danger area of 100m back in a 90 degree cone. I think you might be able to get away with a wall closer that (as I haven't been able to find exact details on how much, if any, is just caution area fr fly debris). The LAW appears to need 10m or something. Generally speaking most buildings don't have rooms big enough to safely fire anything without soft launching. You can however use tricks such as knocking down walls or firing for a position where the backblast will go out a window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 In CMx1 didn't Panzerschreks do all sorts of nasty things to the firer if he was in a building - like suppress him or set his building on fire? Sometimes I miss CMx1! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryujin Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 They really shouldn't just suppress him, but roast him.... but yes, they would be suppressed or light the building on fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD Smack Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Agreed....I tend to not read the comments on any of the video web sites as only the retards seem to have something to say. More on topic there is supposedly a video in which an insurgent fires an RPG from a room or balcony and the back blast blows him out the room. Reguardless the back blast of most of these weapons is something not to be messed with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taccovert4 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 And considering that a NATO AT4 is an 88mm rocket, and that I've got a pair of trousers with the polyester threads singed out of one side of the right leg, the NATO AT4 isn't much fun to shoot inside a building either. Now if you're in an auditorium or a long hallway, go ahead. but if you're in a bedroom, you'd be better to wait for the tank to pass by a couple dozen meters, then lean out the window and let the back blast go straight into the outside air. then drop the worthless tube and duck back inside quick! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
