rocket launcher
Portable ordnance projector
A rocket launcher is a weapon that fires rocket-propelled projectiles—typically shoulder-mounted military devices like the RPG or bazooka.
The term covers everything from infantry anti-tank weapons to vehicle-mounted missile systems.
In video games, rocket launchers are staple weapons prized for explosive damage: I grabbed the rocket launcher and cleared the room.
