Name:  SRM 6 (Prototype)
Type (Category):  Weapon (Missile)
Reference:  Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras (p. 112)

Description:
Less sophisticated than LRMs, the direct-fired short-range missile (SRM) system makes up for its limited reach with the heavier punch of its high-explosive warheads. Mounted in racks of two, four or six tubes—though, again, ProtoMechs have been known to boast irregular tube counts—SRMs are particularly effective against vehicles and infantry, and are often a favored weapon for smaller battlefield units. Their popularity has been proven by the longevity of brand names like Harvester, Holly, Hovertec and Telos, and even the Clans have managed to maintain their own models—albeit more compact and lightweight by comparison.

Game Rules:
Missile launchers may not be fired if the unit is shut down or if its pilot/crew is otherwise prevented from acting, but loaded or partially loaded missile ammo bins are always live and will explode per standard rules if critically hit during game play.

Primitive prototype missile weapons (standard LRMs, SRMs, and their torpedo equivalents) apply a –2 modifier on the Cluster Hits Table for every successful attack, treating any modified result of 1 or less as a minimum result of 2.
