In the Cannon Companion, pg. 29, it says:

QUOTE
The most common light anti-armor weapon (LAW) in the world, the M79B1 is a single shot, disposable rocket fired from a shoulder mount.


Yet, in the table at the bottom of the page, it shows a separate cost for the rocket itself.

So, do you have to buy the rocket separately, or is it included with the launcher? :?

I've always been under the impression, mainly due to Fields of Fire, the the :nuyen: 700 price tag was for one complete rocket launcher. Am I now to believe that I must buy the launcher and the rocket separately, yet it is still only good for one shot?

The same question applies to the MAW. Fields of Fire also describes it as having a disposable firing canister, yet Cannon Companion lists a separate cost for the rocket.

At least they were clear on the Great Dragon having a reusable canister...

I'm so confused... :(

*BTW, I did use the search function, and this was the only thread I could find that addressed the topic. Even then, the answers were vague.

Previous thread on this subject.
