Mitchell SAAW 86

The Mitchell SAAW 86 is a rocket launcher in Battlefield 2142. This anti-air weapon was built with a low-density steel composite and has a CPU-controlled balance system for maximization of portability. It fires guided EMP rockets at air targets, but may also be used against ground targets as well.

Battlefield 2142
In Battlefield 2142, the Mitchell SAAW 86 is one of two unlockable weapons for the Engineer Kit, the other being the Pilum H-AVR. The SAAW preforms very well in its intended purpose of destroying air vehicles like the UD-6 Talon or Type 4 Doragon gunships or the UD-12 Shepherd or BTR-20 Yastreb transports. If either vehicle is hit from one of the SAAW's missiles, the vehicle will take damage and power down while going into free-fall for a few seconds as it suffers from the EMP. If the vehicle is flying low enough to the ground when hit, or near a building or tree, it will crash and explode, instantly killing all players inside.

The SAAW can also be used against ground vehicles to temporarily shut them down and damage them, but it is not as damaging as the Mitchell AV-18 or the Sudnik VP.

Trivia

 * The SAAW 86 shares the same model as the Mitchell AV-18, but it is slightly darker in color and has an LCD screen on the side of the barrel while the AV-18 does not.
