[Spearhead] Soldier Pack
Spearhead is a spinoff project of Frontlines that will be used to differentiate completely fictional weaponry. Some may have some historical components, but for the most part these guns are going to be fabricated by myself or others, or redesigns from other fictional universe for Frontlines purposes.

This mod contains the ’40 Stocket, ’45 Liberator, ’40 Crockett, and ’38 Nailbiter. The Stocket is a superposed-loaded anti-infantry rocket launcher loading 4 rockets at once, each dealing severe damage but flying quite slowly. One anomalous feature of the launcher is that, just by having it in your hands, you take 60% less damage from explosions, allowing you to fire directly down to jump with rockets. The Liberator is a very similar weapon even down to the blast resistance, but it loads 5 rockets, reloads faster, fires faster rockets at a faster rate and is unholsters faster at the cost of damage and blast radius. The Crockett is best described as a shoulder-fired howitzer, loaded one shell at a time, killing anyone it directly hits and mortally wounding those caught in its blast radius. The Nailbiter is a piece of construction equipment mangled into a personal defense weapon; a nailgun in full auto, with respectable damage but abysmal velocity.
These weapons were all found in possession of an unknown soldier who referred to herself as one "John Doe". Upon inquiry into if she was referring to the more commonly-accepted term ‘Jane Doe’, our interrogator was bludgeoned to death with a shovel and the soldier escaped by rocket-jumping out of the trenchline. Efforts to capture the individual again have been suspended.
Real-Life Inspiration:
These weapons are all inspired by the Team Fortress Soldier’s arsenal. The Stocket’s performance is based on the stock launcher in TF2, but its model is based on a Stokes mortar given a Lewis Gun’s stock and grips. The Liberator is a Davis gun cut down and given anti-air sights, and performance is inspired by the Liberty Launcher but heavily modified. The Crockett is based on the M1 8-inch gun [not howitzer] and the Bazooka, plus I think the RPG-7 a bit, and performance wise it’s based loosely on Team Fortress 2 Classic’s RPG. The Nailbiter is based on the STEN, mixed with one of the first nailgun patents and an early nailgun called the Nu-Matic Nailer.
