MercTech: Medium Range Missiles

Based on lessons learned from the Draconis Combine's Deadfire missiles for the SRM and LRMs, Combine scientists downsized LRM missiles by removing their guidance systems and reducing their fuel capacity. Because these missiles were significantly lighter and more compact than LRMs, the scientists were able to double the number of firing tubes on the launcher, creating the Medium Range Missile launcher. Available in 10, 20, 30 and 40 tube versions, MRMs are capable of horrendous damage for their relatively light weight, although they lack the guided accuracy and range of their LRM counterparts. These low-tech and low-cost weapons have become popular within the Combine military, who appreciate their ruggedness and sheer power.

The Clans have so far not shown any interest in reverse-engineering these weapons, likely because they see them as a step back in missile technology.

There has been evidence of Combine scientists attempting to rectify the inaccurate nature of the weapon through an attachment to the launcher, although further digging is needed at this time.
