The Cottonmouth was a shoulder launched anti-aircraft missile used by the United States Army infantry in the 2030s. A two-man team would be assigned to a platoon if air attack was anticipated. The Cottonmouth proved ineffective against Roxolan Flyers since its pilot could sidestep the missile at the last moment. The flyer's anti-gravity drive made in more nimble than any human-made aircraft making the maneuver practical.[1]
