| | The '''M19-B SAM Missile Launcher''' is a heavy ordinance weapon used by the [[UNSC]] it fires high-powered surface to air missiles and was deployed in limited numbers for UNSC ground forces in the [[2540]]'s and early [[2550]]'s. However, they were not widely used, as their counterpart model, the [[M19 SSM (SPNKr) Rocket Launcher]], was much more versitile and portable on the field. |

| The '''M19-B Surface-to-Air Missile Launcher''' is a man-portable, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft, guided munitions launcher in service with the [[UNSC Defense Force]].<ref name="GoO">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 17''</ref> The launcher fires surface-to-air missiles, capable of destroying [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Type-26 Banshees]] with relative ease. The weapon is ineffective against [[Type-31 Seraph|Type-31 Seraph fighters]] due to their [[energy shielding]] system.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}} | |

| ==Production note==
| | This weapon was used by [[Alpha Company]] and [[Beta Company]]. It is for the most part ineffective on a [[Covenant Seraph-class starfighter]], but effective against a [[Banshee]]. |
| At the time ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' was written and published, the [[M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|M41 rocket launcher]] was officially called the M19 surface-to-surface missile launcher, despite the weapon's in-game models bearing the former designation. After years of confusion, ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'' clarified that the weapon itself is indeed the M41 SSR, while the [[M19 surface-to-surface missile]] is its ammunition. Thus, one may infer that the M19-B SAM is not a rocket launcher at all, but rather a dedicated anti-aircraft variant of the M19 SSM. To wit, it may be the version featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 4]]'', as the rocket launchers in those games can track aircraft but not ground vehicles.
