The McDonald Douglas Scorpion City Combat Weapon is a single-shot under-tube bazooka that was developed for urban combat as part of the Multi-Purpose Individual Ammunition Program (MPIM). The weapon was mounted under the M16 assault rifle. The Scorpion concept is a small rocket launcher that can be mounted under the M16. The Scorpion is a disposable tube weapon similar to the M72 LAW, which is simple to operate and maintain and does not affect the rifle it is mounted on. The Scorpion has its own fire control system and uses the existing sights of the main rifle for aiming. During testing, the Scorpion reached its assault target, but did not weigh it, and was criticized for being too bulky in close-quarters city combat because it was only slightly shorter than the M16 itself and weighed more than twice as much as the M16 when riding.
