+ Some Oomph + The weapon is capable of launching a variety of warheads and provides an alarming amount of firepower in a man-portable package.
+ Range + The targeting systems inside of the scope system provides an excellent lock on range for the weapon system.
+ Capacity + Using pre-packaged warheads gives the weapon system a large capacity and a quick cycling of munitions compared to standard launchers.

- More Canisters - The cannisters carrying the missiles can be reloaded, but have a further caveat upon being loaded.
- Pre-packaged Canisters - The cannisters come with whatever is loaded. Needing a different loadout requires either removing the canister, or waiting to reload an empty to get the warhead you are after.
- Large and Heavy - The largest and heaviest weapon PGEM produces, requiring remarkable endurance to carry through the field.

Seeing the need to further add to the growing project of obtaining a private military group, the focus shifted to weapons development. Concerns were abound about the need to ferry power packs and gas cannisters across the battlefield on a much smaller and more privatized scale, incentivizing the need for a more self-contained contained firearm munition.

The final stepping stone in a well rounded arsenal for any combat group is a ground based launcher system. This one incorporates a canister system with preloaded warheads that can be reloaded after being used. Swapping canisters is simplistic but timely as it requires the weapon to be removed from the firing position, two sides unlatched, slid through the canister retaining arms, and another canister replacing it in the reverse process. The cannisters themselves make up the majority of the weight, and once removed from the system make the platform system unwieldy. As well, preloaded canisters can cause in field issues when the need for a different warhead arises. While the issues are inherent ones that could be avoided by limiting the number of potential warheads to be fired, the added ability to launch four missiles in quick succession for pre-planned operations was a pro that outweighed the cons.

Content with the design and its functionality, the schematics were uploaded to the PGEM system for production.
