MATADOR

 

Description

 

Standing for Man-portable, Anti-Tank, Anti-Door, the MATADOR is a single-shot disposable rocket launcher that can be used in two modes. The warhead can be set to HEAT, which is effective against armored vehicles. It can also be set to HESH (squash-head), which makes it effective against brick walls and reinforced doors. The MATADOR’s design allows it to be fired indoors without undue backblast. It has been combat tested extensively by the Israeli military to breach the walls of buildings that have been fortified against assault.

 

 

 

PRIMAL Assessment

 

Useful for when you don’t have time to set an explosive charge and need to breach a wall immediately. However, the MATADOR’s bulkiness makes it difficult to conceal and it could cause collateral damage if there are hostages, so it is more useful in military-style raids where maximum damage is required.
