The M19 SSM Rocket Launcher is a heavy ordnance weapon used by UNSC forces to combat armored vehicles. It features a 2x scope. It is designed so that it can
be used by all UNSC Marine Corps personnel. It is also known as a 'Rocky'.
It fires H.E.A.T. (High Explosive Anti-Tank) rockets. The launcher sports a 2x scope
and can fire rockets over long distances with devastating accuracy, although it falls in altitude and moves at a very slow
rate if fired from a long distance. The weapon consists of two disposable barrels and the weapon unit, allowing two consecutive
shots. When reloading, the spent barrels are discarded and a new pair inserted. With this mechanism, a Marine can greatly
reduce the weight he carries without throwing the weapon away like with modern day disposable rocket launchers, and reduced
production costs as only the barrels are thrown away. A Spartan wielding one is also very effective. It is a heavy ordnance
weapon and is very effective at killing the enemy, but if fired at a target that is too close, the splash damage can and most
likely will kill the user.
