Comment on Marines Test Fire Robot Dog Armed with Rocket Launcherparent

Comments

I'm no expert, but aren't rocket launchers recoilless?

As for why the dog form factor, I'm betting it'll be because a dog form factor makes for a much cheaper swarm than a tank form factor. Less mass to move about so a smaller power pack, too

Some rocket launchers are "recoilless". In particular, shoulder fired ones tend to be, so as to, you know, not knock people over. (LAW, AT4, etc)
