| Weapon | Type | Description | Brevity Code |
|---|
| AIM-120 AMRAAM | Active Radar | The “Slammer.” It has its own mini-radar. You guide it part-way, then it turns on its own radar (“Pitbull”) and hunts the target. Fire-and-forget (mostly). | ”Fox 3” |
| AIM-9 Sidewinder | Infrared (IR) | Heat-seeking missile. Short-range. You must hear the “growl” tone before firing. The AIM-9X is the modern version that can shoot 90-degrees off-boresight. | ”Fox 2” |
| AIM-7 Sparrow | Semi-Active Radar | Older tech. You must keep your radar locked on the target from launch until impact. If you lose lock, the missile goes stupid. | ”Fox 1” |
| M61A1 Vulcan | 20mm Cannon | 6,000 rounds per minute. Used for dogfighting (EEGS gunsight) or strafing ground targets. | ”Guns, Guns, Guns” |
