- Penetrating Power: Capable of piercing a hole into the side of an AT-AT, penetration is where the SLAM launcher excels, a necessary feat due to its two-stage detonation scheme. Its durasteel tip can make it through most materials entirely unbent, and ready to detonate its contents within most vehicles.
- Portability: Though heavy, the SLAM launcher is still able to be carried by a single infantryman, lacking the cumbersome tripods of other anti-vehicle systems, as it is intended to be shoulder-fired. This makes it easier to move around the battlefield, and allows it to be integrated into infantry battle structures, granting them effective anti-armor capabilities.
- Powerful Blast: Its warheads contain Rutgar-4 filled tips, giving them powerful blasts, which can decisively gut the interior of any vehicle unfortunate enough to be in its sights. Designed to penetrate the armor of a vehicle, before detonating within it, in the hopes of killing crew and disabling internal systems.
- Guided: With its warheads guided by sophisticated targeting technology, even the most untrained individual can yield the SLAM launcher to lethal effect, this also allows the SLAM to be operated from longer distances than its other shoulder-fired compatriots.
- Two-in-One: The SLAM launcher utilizes two separate launch tubes, allowing two missiles to be loaded at once, and fired in close succession to one another, in the event that the first is not enough, or a new enemy target abruptly appears.
- Digital Integration: Able to connect to the computerized interface HUD of an operator's helmet, various aiming assistance, and enhanced sights can be given to the operator to assist in his accurate firing.
WEAKNESSES
- Single Purpose: Specifically engineered to fill the requirement for a penetrating anti-armor weapon, it is not recommended that the SLAM be used for attacks against enemy personnel, or aircraft.
- Large Missiles: The MD-860 Tokoda missiles that the SLAM launcher takes are both large, and heavy. Meaning smaller numbers of them can realistically be carried around by infantrymen, due to the volatile munitions within them, they also require more careful handling than other missiles.
- Heavy: Made of already heavy, and dense materials, the SLAM is certainly not a weapon one wants to be lugging around for hours a day, and with the two Tokoda missiles inserted into the launch tubes, this makes it heavy almost to the point that the operator must lay it on the ground in-order to accurately fire, or have a second operator assist him.
The FGL-200 Single Launch Anti-Armor Munition (SLAM) is a man-portable fire and forget anti-vehicle missile launcher by Nakaioma Defense Dynamics. Operating with sophisticated guidance technology, the SLAM allows users to fire and then immediately find cover, whereas other anti-armor platforms require active guidance by the operator throughout their flight, as the Tokoda missiles which it fires will then proceed to guide themselves towards the target. Designed to penetrate the thick armor of a vehicle or walker's sides, as opposed to striking down from above, thus making the probability of hitting the target greater and the job of lining up a shot easier, the SLAM combines ruggid brutish firepower with sophisticated in-built targeting and guiding technology. Developed throughout the 850s by NDD's explosives and projectiles division, the FGL-200 was released in 862ABY to both the civilian and military markets.
