Disposable Rocket Launcher

World of Darkness - Armory

Rather than design an expensive reloadable launcher system for an infantryman who may only get off one or two shots before being killed, many militaries favor lightweight one-use systems. A disposable rocket launcher consists of a single rocket packed into a telescoping tube. When collapsed, the tube protects the rocket and the sighting and firing mechanism. When extended (which takes one full turn and increases the launcher’s Size by 1), the launcher is ready to fire. Once fired, the empty tube is useless and can be discarded.
Examples (light): American M72 LAW (Lightweight Anti-Tank Weapon), Russian RPG-22, Chinese PF-89
Examples (heavy): British LAW-80, Swedish AT-4, Russian RPG-27
