EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS

Below is a list of generic explosives and explosive weapons.  In the case of the various rocket and missile launchers, whose primary purpose is to destroy fixed positions or relatively large and slow moving armored vehicles, trying to actually hit a person with one is done at -1D to their attack roll.  The blast radius of a weapon is that distance from the point of the explosion where people will suffer damage.  Anyone within 10% of the blast radius (i.e., within 5 feet of an explosion with a 50 foot blast radius) takes full listed damage.  Everyone outside that 10% distance suffers half the normal damage dice, rounded up (i.e., 2D from a hand grenade instead of 4D, or 9D from an anti-tank missile instead of 18D).  Also note that any weapon listed as anti-armor or anti-tank will probably not detonate if it strikes an unarmored or soft target.
