ML

The ML (Missile Launcher), based on the "FIM-92 Stinger" is a weapon cut from Half Life 2.

Overview

 * Despite firing a rocket, it uses a very different model than the RPG. It is unknown what made this weapon different than the final RPG.
 * It was to be used at least in the map "sniper_039.vmf".

Trivia

 * The Missile Launcher is named "ml_grenade" ("ml" stands for "Missile Launcher"). The RPG ammo is still named that way in the retail game.
 * In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still containing the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The Stinger is among them.
 * A sound file named "stinger_fire1.wav" and used for the APC missiles can be found in the Half-Life 2 files. It is probably the original FIM-92 Stinger firing sound.
