List of rocket launchers
This is a list of rocket launchers, by name.
Grenade Launchers
Grenade launchers are designed to propel a grenade at high speeds towards a target to either destroy or immobilize the target. Grenade launchers gradually evolved from the first use of hand grenades during World War I via rifle grenades. They have been considered to be good anti-tank weapons ever since.
Rocket Launchers
Rocket Launchers differ from grenade launchers because they propel a grenade by the force of a rocket. When the armed warhead in the grenade comes into contact with a surface, it typically detonates with enough force to destroy most targets.[1] Rocket launchers can reliably eliminate enemy aircraft (if the grenade has been fitted with a tracking device) and land/sea vehicles.
