Background & Other Details:
The Mk 153 Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) is a shoulder-launched rocket weapon with the primary function of being a portable assault weapon (i.e. bunker buster) and a secondary anti-armor rocket launcher. Developed from the B-300, it was introduced to the United States Armed Forces in 1984. It has a maximum effective range of 500 meters (550 yd) against a tank-sized target.

It can be used to destroy bunkers and other fortifications during assault operations; it can also destroy other designated targets using the dual mode rocket, and main battle tanks using the high-explosive anti-tank rocket. Operations in Afghanistan and Iraq saw a thermobaric rocket added (described as a "Novel Explosive" (NE)), which is capable of collapsing a building.

It was brought in by a private organization that has been lurking throughout Raccoon City (OOC: V-SAC), and this unknown organization has modified this launcher to be effective against Leviathan Class Bio Organic Weapons, and have also developed Computer Guided Anti-B.O.W. Missiles to fend off against the most extreme of B.O.W. Threats.
