Triple-mode: Against fortifications, vehicles or in air-burst mode.From Defpro:
13:22 GMT, March 18, 2009 German weapons manufacturer Dynamit Nobel Defence GmbH (DND) recently displayed a revolutionary new shoulder-launched, multi-purpose infantry weapon called the Wirkmittel 90. The new weapon will have an impressive effective range of 1200 meters - doubling the range of the Panzerfaust 3-IT - and will offer three firing modes to users.
Based on a 90mm caliber, the anti-structure weapon comes with a triple-mode warhead with a selective switch and can thus act effectively against fortifications of all kind, including bunkers, brick walls, strong buildings as well as light-armored vehicles. For this purpose, the selection option will allow the user to decide if the warhead will either detonate on impact as soon as it hits a target or, for example, inside a building after having penetrated the structure. The third mode will allow soldiers to let the weapon detonate in an air burst mode above a target.
