FIM-92A Stinger

The only anti-air weapon, available only to the Engineer classes of both sides. An oddity during a short time after the release of the game (the developers reacted to the community criticism later on) was that the Stinger was close to obsolete over short distances: It required two missiles to take down an aerial vehicle, while the AT4 only needed one.

Interestingly, this and all the other shoulder-fired launchers use the same reticule.
