Stinger Launcher

The Stinger Launcher is a Weapon found in The Test Area and HANGAR. This weapon appears to be a large tube. A square reticle can be found at the top with a few red dots inside that allow the user to aim at a target.

If the player has one, it can be selected by using impulse 15. Note that the Ammo count will revert to 0 upon changing levels.

Note that there is a bug in the code that causes the Rocket Launcher to also be called the Stinger Launcher.

Strategy
This Weapon is extremely powerful, being able to kill a Vore in a single shot, but is balanced by the fact that it only provides a single Stinger per Weapon. The aiming reticle at the top of the unit is key to its functionality, since it is mandatory to lock onto an entity before the Stinger Launcher will fire. To lock onto an opponent, the player must simply put the red dots on top of the entity for a few seconds, whereby a message will be displayed that the target is locked. Note that the recticle does have a limited range, meaning the player might need to get closer to lock onto an opponent.

Once fired, the Stinger will move slowly through the air, but will quickly increase in speed until it rapidly shoots towards its target. The missile is homing, meaning it shall track the target as it moves, and can keep up with an Aircraft to take it down out of the sky. Note however that the second it is moving slow it is disarmed, meaning that it will bump harmlessly into said opponent if fired too close. It is therefore important to gain a decent amount of distance before firing this gun.
