But Mark IV can all so refer to the Reentry Vehicle (RV) for the warhead as well.
As a note, the “Mark IV” designation seen on the bomb belongs to a nuclear (free fall) bomb that had ceased to be used after 1954. So let’s call this “Mark IV” a 25 kiloton warhead. So based on it’s size and shape, it does not have a real strong resemblance to anything real other than the outer shell for a RV (reentry vehicle) like those used on the Minuteman ICBM’s. I could see a few people moving a 350 pound warhead, but not a 800+ pound one. The W-85 has a weight of about 880 pounds. The problem with warhead we see in game is that it’s way to small to be a W-85. The Pershing 2 used a warhead (designation W-85) that had a variable yield between 5 and 50 kilotons. So what was Black Mesa doing with an operational theater range missile something like ten years later? Sounds like a treaty violation to me.
This is odd, because the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, all Pershings (all theater Class nuclear missiles actually) where destroyed by 1991. The missile the warhead it removed from is clearly a theater class ballistic missile that bears some resemblance to a Pershing 2. This is a look at the circumstances and events surrounding the declared destruction of the Black Mesa Research Facility by a nuclear weapon in the Opposing Force expansion for Half Life 1 by Gearbox.įirst, let’s look at the nuke the G-Man activated in Opposing Force.
