Nuclear Warhead

From the Metal Gear Wiki

The AGM-129 ACM Cruise Missile is a low observable, air launched strategic missile with significant improvements over the ALCM B in range, accuracy, survivability.

It's range is 3,000km or 1,864 miles. It was developed by the United States in 1983, and deployed in 1991. The contractor was Hughes Missile Systems.

They are 6.35 meters or 20.8 ft in length. The diameter in height is 64 cm or 2 ft., and the width is 70.4 cm or 2.3 ft. The wingspan is 3.1m or 10.1 ft. It's launch weight is 1.250kgs or 2.7 lbs. Usually armed with a W80 warhead, it is designed to evade air and ground based defenses in order to strike heavily hardened targets at any location within any potential enemy's territory. The ACM is designed for B52H external carriage. Enhancement models can be seen stored on Shadow Moses Island, armed with nuclear warheads ACMnu57 64, able to deliver severe devastation to a 20 mile radius. The warhead's payload is 200kt nuclear or HE. These missiles are launched from the one of the 8 missile modules located on the back of Metal Gear REX.

The missiles located at Shadow Moses Island are rather weather beaten and at risk of plutonium leakage, the reason why Dr. Naomi Hunter makes Snake's nanomachine's ability to use enemy weapons inactive while in the Nuclear Warhead Storage Building.
