Help Me Steampunk a Missile Launcher

[Zhaleskra]

I'm working on steampunking/retroteching an anime series. With my cousin's help, I figured out that one character uses a M202 Flash in one of the sequels.

Now I just need ideas on steampunking that weapon: M202A1_FLASH

Thank you.

I don't see what's the use of "steam punking" a missile launcher considering that the chinese and english used rockets before the advent of modern rocketry... but alright.. if need be it uses compressed steam OR GUNPOWDER to launch the missile.

How about, instead of launching powered missiles, it uses steam-powered pistons to fling incendiary-filled cannon-balls.

How about a spring-powered version of an RPG -- that'd be Rocket-Propelled Anti-Tank Grenade, not Role Playing Game!

When in doubt, ask yourself how they'd do it on Girl Genius. I think the answer is pretty clear: they'd take a source of electricity and use it to power a clockwork launcher that propels lengths of railway at high speeds.

Naturally, it would be called a railroad gun.

You should checkout the Warmachine Minis from Privateer Press. It´s set in a Steampunk-Setting and the Menites (one of the Factions) are heavy into Rockets.

Head over to Home | Privateer Press and go to the Gallery.

I wonder what superheating the water would do to such a device.

And what if the water was flash superheated with magical or scientific....

LIGHTNING!!!!


(Or a tesla coil).



You know where on the battlefield the missle launcher is because that's where the flashes of lightning and booms of thunder are coming from.

My premise for this game is "What if Project A-ko took place in 1930?". In this case, B-ko is a multiclassed Idle Rich/Weird Scientist.

First, watch the movie Steamboy. Then, do a YouTube search for "compressed gas cylinder rocket"...
