RPG-29 rocket (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
The 105mm rocket propelled grenade, referred simply to as 105mm RPG, is a rocket-propelled grenade warhead developed specifically for the Bazalt RPG-29 and its variants.
It is a type of explosive ordnance, as such it delivers explosive-type damage.
Real-life data
The 105mm RPG warhead was specifically developed for the RPG-29. It is a rocket-propelled grenade, which itself has been declined in several variants, to serve anti-matériel (High-Explosive Anti-Tank or HEAT) and anti-personnel (Thermobaric High-Explosive, or HE) purposes.
Designed to explode upon impact, the rocket has an effective range of 400 meters, which is a twofold improvement over the 85mm RPG, which is used by the RPG-7. Upon leaving the barrel, the rocket deploys eight stabilizing fins, and will maintain a ballistic trajectory on an effective range of 500 meters.
When equipped with PG-29V anti-tank warhead, the RPG-29 has been reported to be capable of piercing the hull of T-80 and T-90 tanks, despite being equipped with reactive armor and thick hulls.
In August 2008, it has also been used to attack and successfully pierce the hull of a M1 Abrams tank, with a custom warhead especially designed to pierce the Enhanced Reactive Armor (ERA) the M1 is equipped with; this has set the reputation of the weapon as so dangerous for American tank crews, the US military forbid the then newly-formed Iraqi army from purchasing them for fear they would fall in enemy hands.
Mazeworld overview
The variant used in Mazeworld is the anti-personnel TBG-29V HE-type thermobaric warhead.
| Type | Unarm | Light | Hardskin | Kevlar-2 | Kevlar-3 | Kevlar-4 | HEV |
| Explosive | 165% | 160% | 155% | 145% | 135% | 120% | 100% |
The 105mm RPG is capable of dealing tremendously high damage, as the chart shows. As an explosive ordnance, and a rocket launcher-grade warhead designed for anti-personnel purpose, it is an extremely deadly force to be reckoned with, benefiting from the advantage of explosive damage type bonus of being able to blow off limbs from its targets, if it doesn't kill them immediately thanks to the tremendous power of the thermobaric rockets.
While these may be strong advantages, this is a rare type of ammunition, that can be found at random in the rooms in boxes of either one or six warheads, but it is also a heavy kind of ammunition - being rockets, a single one weighs 3 units, rendering ammunition conservation difficult; not to mention the prohibitively high price of a single rocket (300 P$).
