The M41B | The M41B SPNKr is a variant of the standard M41 SPNKr. Unlike other variants of the M41, the M41B lacks a smart-linked sight and a trigger guard;{{Ref/Book|EVG|Page=156}} it possesses a pistol grip in place of an ergonomic thumbhole stock, resulting in a more skeletal overall appearance. However, the M41B features a 2× magnification optics sight,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} allowing users to fire rockets over long distances without relying on the use of [[smart-linking]]. | ||

The M41B SPNKr is featured in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''. In each of these games, it is a usable weapon known as the [[Rocket Launcher]]. It is a [[power weapon]], which fires slow-moving rockets that deal an incredible amount of damage upon detonation, with a wide area of effect. The Rocket Launcher is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and to compensate, it has a small magazine size, slow reload speed and ammo is generally very rare. | |||

*The weapon was identified as the M19 SSM rocket launcher in the game manuals of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'' as well as in the ''[[Art of Halo 3]]''. It was also referred to in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' as the M19 missile launcher. It was established in ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' that M19 SSM refers to the rocket ammunition while the launcher itself is designated as the M41.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The 2022 edition of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'' further expanded on the designation, giving the M41B designation to the variant first introduced in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} | |||

These only appear on the [[Legendary]] difficulty when the [[Halo 3 skulls#Iron|Iron Skull]] is activated. If any player boards a [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]], these rocket launchers will not spawn. These rocket launchers hold a [[tag]] separated from the the regular rocket launchers, as they can be picked up even when the player has a rocket launcher holstered as their second weapon, though the two weapons will not share the ammo reserve. | ||
