The AGM-65 Maverick
In various OOBs there are variants of this weapon, all with the same stats (with the exceptions noted)
Variant OOB/Wpn
AGM65A 004/210 016/205 031/210 032/202 059/189 064/205 073/210 082/211 083/211 (Acc 80)
AGM65B 037/227 038/237 066/237
AGM65D Many OOBs
AGM65F 034/228 046/210
AGM65G 002/210
AGM65X 012/217 (Acc 100, Rng 250)
AGM65A - 1972 - 57kg warhead - USAF/US Army
AGM65B - 1978 - Added optical zooming to lock onto small or distant targets - USAF/US Army
AGM65C - 1978 - 113kg warhead - Semi-active laser-guided - Canceled after a few built - USMC
AGM65D - 1986 - Imaging infrared (IRR) seeker - USAF/US Army
AGM65E - 1985 - 136kg warhead - Laser designator guidance - USMC
AGM65F - 1989 - 136kg warhead - IRR seeker - US Navy (optimized for maritime stikes)
AGM65G - 1988 - 136kg warhead - IRR seeker - USAF (especially designed for use against hardened tactical targets)
AGM65H - 2007 - Rebuilt AGM65B/D - Charge-coupled device (CCD) seeker (optimised for desert operations) - USAF/US Army
AGM65J - 2007 - Rebuilt AGM65F - CCD seeker - US Navy (optimized for maritime stikes)
AGM65K - 2007 - Rebuilt AGM65G - Electro-optical television guidance system - USAF
AGM65L - 2012 - 136kg warhead -Laser-guided - USAF - USMC/US Navy designation AGM65E2
Maverick ER - Development abandoned
The USAF uses the 57kg warhead (A/B/D/H) vs armor, the 136kg (G/K/L) version is used only vs structures
The USMC/USN uses only the 136kg warhead (E/F/J/E2) variants
I suspect the AGM65X in the US Army OOB represents the abandoned Maverick ER
