The '''Rocket Launcher''' is a weapon which has appeared in [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], [[Grand Theft Auto II]], [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. In GTA III, the rocket launcher resembles a US Army M72 LAW rocket launcher with a few aesthetic differences (the weapon is held by a handle on the bottom and fired through a scope, something the M72 LAW lacks in real life). In GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City Stories, and GTA IV, the rocket launcher resembles a Russian RPG-7 portable anti-tank missile launcher, although the VCS rendition lacks a warhead in the tube and the GTA IV rendition is not fitted with the PGO-7 optical sight usually seen on the launchers. |

The rocket launcher is an extremely powerful weapon, capable of destroying almost everything. The advantages of this weapon are its power and range, with its blast being capable of inflicting heavy damage from several meters away. The warhead self-destructs after traveling a distance, limiting it's range. The disadvantages are slow aiming and the propensity to seriously damage one's own health by accidentally hitting a nearby object. |
