A single-shot disposable rocket launcher.  The launcher doubles as the
carrying container for the 10cm HEAP rocket, the two components cannot be
used seperately.  The DRS (Disposable Rocket System) 10 is simple to
manufacture and simple to use, yet packs a considerable punch against
armoured vehicles and buildings.  Note that the effective short range will
be greatly affected by terrain.

A number of these rockets have found their way into the hands of terrorist
groups fighting the administration on Saxe.  How the Solomani guerillas
obtained the launchers is presently unknown, but they have used them to
deadly effect against army and Interior Ministry militia units.
