Description:
The M41 is a heavy ordnance weapon in the UNSC arsenal that fires a 102mm Shaped-Charge High-Explosive Surface to Surface Missile. The launcher sports a 2x scope and can fire rockets over long distances with devastating accuracy, although its altitude decreases over longer distances. The M41 uses a design unique among rocket launchers: when reloaded, the barrels are removed and two preloaded barrels are then reinserted into the unit. With this mechanism, a Marine can greatly reduce the weight he carries without throwing the weapon away like some contemporary disposable rocket launchers.
User Notes:
The M41 is apparently the model available in all the Halo games, with the M19 at some point having been discarded entirely. Why? Who knows. However, given that it's pretty much always been the same weapon, the only difference being whether or not it can lock on, and what to. So, the base model, which 0352s can start with, doesn't lock on. The upgraded version can lock on to both aircraft and land vehicles.
