The Type 94 was designed in direct response to the rapid movement of the [[Vandarch Canal Crisis]] in 1992, where Fhainnin troops were forced to put down an extremist uprising, exposing capabilities gaps in the military's ability to provide extremely low-level indirect fire support and tactical advantages such as long-range illumination and lower-impact, high-mobility mortar systems to handle the highly motorized nature of the threats faced during the Crisis. | |||
The launcher contains a closed combustion chamber to capture expelled gases, heavily reducing thermal signature, flash, smoke, and noise. Additionally, the tube of the weapon does not heat up. Sighting is limited to an angle gague, with corrections performed via observation and user knowledge of the weapon's range at various angles, included in the user manual. Flare, colorless and colored smoke, HE, and antipersonnel fragmentation rounds are available to all users; Faneria is believed to manufacture infrared-exposure flares and chemical rounds for itself but does not permit the sale of these abroad. | The launcher contains a closed combustion chamber to capture expelled gases, heavily reducing thermal signature, flash, smoke, and noise.
