[[File:LI_warhead.jpg|200px|right|thumb|LI Arrow Missile in action]] == Description == The '''Laser-Inhibiting (LI) Arrow Missile''' was an experimental defensive [[Arrow IV Artillery|Arrow IV]] missile conceived by Dr. [[James Long (Scientist)|James Long]] of the [[New Avalon Institute of Science]]<ref name="UNBOUNDp68">''Unbound'', p. 68: "Alternative Ordnance"</ref> during the peak of the [[Clan Invasion]]. Upon impact the LI missile released a special chemical gas with intense prismatic qualities which not only obscured vision but diffused [[Laser]] beams passing through the cloud. Development of the LI missile began in [[3052]], with prototypes finished and limited production begun a year later, however the project was eventually shelved. In addition to problematic issues arising during the weapon's development and the scientists assigned to the project, LI Arrow missiles proved to be of limited utility. They had no effect on other weapon systems (including particle weapons), and while the gas rose higher into the air than conventional smoke artillery it also dispersed more quickly.<ref name="UBp69">''Unbound'', p. 69, "(LI) Laser Inhibiting Warhead"</ref><ref name="TOp356">''Tactical Operations'', p. 356, "Laser-Inhibiting (LI) Arrow Missile"</ref> == Rules == <div class="gamerules"> === Game Rules === In [[Classic BattleTech]] game rules, the LI Arrow Missile is delivered in the same fashion as conventional Arrow missiles but instead of causing damaged it creates a gas cloud in the target hex and all surrounding hexes up to level 2 height.
