Liberty Launcher
“ | This particular variant has all the bells and whistles befitting an entire front line unit: folding sight, capacity to split into two parts for easier carrying, and a stock that can be comfortably used by one in every 500 soldiers.

The Liberty Launcher is a community-created primary weapon for the Soldier. It is an olive-shaded rocket launcher with tan wooden handles, a leaf sight adorned with a white U.S. Army insignia, and a cracked wooden shoulder-rest with a wire frame exhaust port.
The Liberty Launcher's rockets travel at a rate of roughly 1540 Hammer units per second (approximately 106 km/h or 66 mph) – 40% faster than normal rockets, along with a clip size of five rockets instead of four. Self-damage taken from rocket jumping with this weapon is also reduced by 25%. As a downside, the Liberty Launcher deals 25% less damage to enemies compared to the stock Rocket Launcher, making the Liberty Launcher more accurate and mobile, but less damaging overall.

Trivia
- The Liberty Launcher's wire-frame exhaust port and unusable iron sights resemble parts of the M1 Bazooka.
- The flared wooden section of the Liberty Launcher's barrel, just behind the rear grip, has a crack on the right side. This makes that segment of the barrel look nearly identical to the Liberty Bell.
