Arsenal ATGL-H
Notes: The
ATGL-H series are essentially Bulgarian developments of the Russian SPG-9.
Four versions exist, differing primarily in the mount used, the sights
used, and the weight. The ATGL-H
and ATGL-H2 are mounted on collapsible tripods; the ATGL-H1 and ATGL-H3 are
mounted on wheeled mounts. The
ATGL-H2 and ATGL-H3 are equipped with both optical sights with low-magnification
and an IR night sight; the ATGL-H and ATGL-H1 have only the optical sight.
The ATGL-H3 may instead mount a thermal imager instead of the IR night
sight.

Armar Armblast
Notes: Armar is
a new division of Arsenal, tasked with rocket launcher, grenade launcher and
ATGM production and development.
One of their newest products is the Armblast light rocket launcher family,
already in use by the Bulgarian Army. (Don’t confuse it with the Armburst; it
doesn’t even bear a resemblance to the Armbrust.)
The Armblast actually bears a strong resemblance to the American M-72 LAW
series. It is normally carried in a
collapsed state, like a LAW; in preparation to fire the weapon, one opens it and
extends it (though the non-extended part of the launcher tube is longer, and it
extends less than a foot. Sights pop up (front and rear), and the weapon is
ready for deployment. The Armblast
can also mount external sights or night vision equipment. The launcher comes
with a sling for carrying and even cartoon instructions on the left side.
Opening the Armblast also opens a foregrip. It can be recollapsed if the
soldier decides not to use it at that time, unless there has been a misfire and
the trigger bar has been pushed but the rocket never left the tube.
(You should discard the launcher at this point…) The Armblast is
lightweight, but surprisingly effective.
The Armblast-AT
is the base member of the family; it is a weapon with a HEAT warhead, circled
with a fragmentation jacket. The
frag jacket explodes outward a faction of a second after the warhead goes off;
it is capable of penetrating light structures, masonry, and even light armored
vehicles before the frag jacket goes off, hopefully, inside the structure or
vehicle. The Armblast-AP is a simple high-explosive warhead design, and it too
is surrounded with a fragmentation jacket.
The Armblast-TB uses a thermobaric warhead and is capable of killing
troops in the open, down tunnels, and inside pillboxes and fortified positions.
It is also capable of destroying some armored vehicles.
