Portable UB-16-57UMP Rocket Pod
A little history about Soviet Era Rocket pods.
The S-5 is a 55 mm (2.2 in) calibre unguided rocket fired from a 57 mm calibre tube. It is used by fighter bombers and helicopters. It consists of a steel body containing a solid fuel rocket, and a high-explosive warhead with a mechanical impact fuse. At the rear of the rocket is an elongated exhaust nozzle, with eight attached forward folding fins. The fins fold around the rocket when it is stowed in its launch tube; they spring back as soon as the rocket leaves the launch tube. In flight, the very slightly angled fins exert a stabilizing spin to the rocket, turning at approximately 750 rpm. The solid rocket motor burns for just 1.1 seconds, during which time it covers about 300 meters (980 feet).
The S-5 is carried in rocket pods, with between four and 32 rockets. The first were ORO-57 launchers, made in variants with capacity of four, eight and 16 rockets. The most typical became the ORO-57K for eight rockets, used especially on the MiG-19. Then, beginning in the early 1960s, the typical launcher became the UB-16-57, with 16 rockets, developed in several variants, for helicopters and planes. UB stands for "universal block" (universalnyi blok), as it could be carried on conventional bomb hardpoints, "57" refers to the actual diameter of the launch tube (the diameter of the rocket plus 2 mm). The first variant and UB-16-57U had a conical forward part while the next variant UB-16-57D had a blunt forward part. Starting in 1968, the UB-16-57UMP variant was produced, with a conical forward part and five protruding inner tubes. In the 1970s, the UB-32 was developed with 32 rockets, carried by heavier aircraft.
This is a scaled down version that has been modified to be carried and fired from a
Gatling Laser frame. This weapon is intended to be used while in Power Armor, that's why the weight is as high as it is. A photo of the Chem bench recipe and the weapons
base strength/damage is also posted.
The Portable UB-16-57UMP Rocket Pod does not have any special animations or upgrades, and I will not be making any for it. It is just a basic no frills weapon just the way I like them.
As stated above in red the weapon cannot be improved or changed at the Weapon Workbench.
The mod is flagged as an ESL, so it does not take up any mod slots.
The mod is what it is, and unless it is a game breaking issue, will not be revised.
