Rocket Launcher

Developed by the Marian Hegemony in 3064[1] from Man-Portable Rocket Launchers as a simple and crude replacement for other weaponry types in the more low-tech regions of the Periphery, Rocket Launchers are single-shot inaccurate dead-fire missile weapons. Despite their limited nature, their relatively light weight, compact size and low cost allows multiple launchers to replace a single large missile launcher or Autocannon offering reasonable first strike ability. They have also been used on several battle armor designs, including the Trinity[2], Nephilim[3], and Asura.[4]

Several types of Rocket Launcher systems exist. For specifics about a particular type, click on one of the links below:
