RL001 (M20 Super Bazooka) worked flawlessly in practice late Saturday, but fired only one shot in pre-battle practice Sunday morning.

RL002 [designation pending] (15 cm Nebelwerfer 41) which is still in development but fired paintballs (not very far) from one tube and had functional traverse, elevation and fire controls. A small machine screw in the elevation pivot worked its way tight against the aluminum beam and caused the motor to break its mount just as the final battle was ending - lesson learned: use a washer and grease, and perhaps threadlocker or a longer screw with a locknut on the far side.
