    Default Javelin Advantage

    From what I can read on the internet, Javelin has a 10lb weight advantage, when considering the CLU and 1 missile. Ask an infantryman, this is a significant advantage.

    Of course, maybe you don't have to carry and use the tripod on the Spike. But the guidance unit/launcher looks quite a bit bulkier than the Javelin CLU. US Infantry units used to use the CLU all the time as a thermal sight for OP work (until the plethora of newer, smaller thermal sights).
