| Fast Draw carries the new FAFNIR [Fire and Forget Non-tube-launched Infantry Rocket] missile system and wears the necessary protective suit to shield himself from hot exhaust gases. The FAFNIR target acquisition and homing devices are all self-contained in the missile itself allowing the operator to take cover immediately after launch. Target lock-on displays are projected on the interior of the helmet face plate as well as threat and malfunction warnings. The missile is extremely fast and resistant to ECM jamming.
"Fast Draw thinks of himself as an old-west gunfighter. A whole squadron of COBRA STUNS could be rumbling across the landscape at him and he just stands there with a missile rack in each hand and that 'come-and-get-it' look in his eyes. You might call him arrogant but at least he has the firepower to back him up."
