 ==Summary==
-The M19, alternatively called the '''SPNKr''' or the '''Jackhammer''', is a heavy ordnance weapon of the [[UNSC]] arsenal used in Halo 1 and Halo 2. It fires HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) rockets. The launcher sports a 2x scope and can fire rockets over long distances with devastating accuracy, although in Halo Combat Evolved it falls in altitude if shot from a long distance.
+The M19, alternatively called the '''SPNKr''' or the '''Jackhammer''', is a heavy ordnance weapon of the [[UNSC]] arsenal used in Halo 1 and Halo 2. 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 in Halo Combat Evolved it falls in altitude if shot from a long distance.
 The weapon has two barrels, allowing consecutive shots. When reloaded, barrels are opened in the back and the "pack" of two rockets is removed and a new one is 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. A [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] wielding one is also very effective, since their augmentations have given them the ability to wield both a Rocket Launcher and a small sidearm at the same time, though this is only seen in a cinematic in [[Delta Halo(level)|Halo 2]]. Still, it is a heavy ordnance and is very effective at killing both the enemy, and if fired at a target that is too close, the splash damage will kill the user.
