| The '''M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle / Assault Weapon''' ('''M41 SSR MAV/AW'''), formally known as the '''Medium Anti-Vehicle / Assault Weapon, Bore 102mm, M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Launcher''',{{Ref/Site|Id=bnetreach|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=ordnance&cid=25440|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Halo: Reach - Ordnance|D=12|M=4|Y=2016}} and commonly known as the '''Jackhammer''' or the '''SPNKr''' (pronounced "spanker"), is a heavy ordnance weapon used by the [[UNSC]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s.{{Ref/Site|Id=2016hw|https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/rocket-launcher|Halo Waypoint|Universe: Rocket Launcher|D=13|M=4|Y=2016}} It is manufactured by [[Misriah Armory]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc09}} Nicknames for the M41 SPNKr include '''Pain''', '''Launcher''', '''Breath of God''', and '''Can Opener'''.{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}} | | The '''M41 SSR MAV/AW''' is a heavy ordnance weapon of the [[UNSC]] arsenal used in [[Halo 3]]. It is different from the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]] used in Halo and Halo 2. Both previous launchers had the words "M41 SSR MAV/AW" printed on them, but the game manuals, HUD dialogue, and novels refer to them as "M19 SSM Rocket Launchers". |
|

|
| ==Overview== | | ==Summary== |
| [[File:HINF SPNKR Reload.png|250px|left|thumb|A [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]] inserting the disposable twin-tube unit into an M41D SPNKr.]] | | The M41 SSR, alternatively called a "Spanker" (On the [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/M19_SSM_Rocket_Launcher Halo 2 Rocket launcher] it prints in paint: SPNKr), is a heavy ordnance weapon of the [[UNSC]] arsenal, used in [[Halo 3]]. It fires [[HEAT]] (High Explosive Anti-Tank) rockets. The launcher sports a 2x scope and can fire rockets over long distances with devastating accuracy. This rocket launcher's damage has been increased over the Halo 2 version. Some also believe it to be aesthetically superior. However, it can no longer lock on to large targets. |
| ===Design details===
| |
| The M41 SPNKr is characterized by its two main components: firstly, a reusable launcher that opens and closes with a hinge mechanism, which encircles most of the magazine; secondly, a disposable magazine containing two rockets.{{Ref/Reuse|bnetreach}}{{Ref/Reuse|2016hw}} The launcher is [[Wikipedia:Shoulder-fired missile|shoulder-fired]], and the wielder stabilizes the weapon by holding a foregrip extending from the trigger guard. The weapon uses a unique system for loading and firing: rather than using a traditional magazine or single-shot system, it is fed by a disposable unit with two tubes, each of which holds a single rocket. When one of the rockets is fired, the other is cycled into place; when both have been fired, the operator opens the launcher, removes the twin-tube unit to insert another, and then closes the mechanism around the unit. As such, the M41 is considerably portable,{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} allowing the operator to quickly reload while in combat and greatly reduces the weight he carries without throwing the weapon away. A self-test button on the weapon rotates the twin-tubes to ensure the mechanism will rotate as intended.{{Ref/Game|HCE|Rocket Launcher idle animation}}
| |
|
| |
|
| The M41 accepts a variety of ammunition types, with the most common being the unguided [[M19 surface-to-surface missile|M19 102mm surface-to-surface missile]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} Other ammunitions include the [[M21 antipersonnel rocket]],{{Ref/Reuse|HSS3}} [[Wikipedia:Missile guidance|guided missiles]], and [[Wikipedia:Loitering munitions|hunter-killer loitering munitions]].{{Ref/Reuse|osfm}}
| | When reloaded, the barrels are removed. Two preloaded barrels are then inserted back into the launcher. With this mechanism, a [[Marine]] can greatly reduce the weight he carries without throwing the weapon away like with modern day disposable rocket launchers. This setup is very similar to that of the Javelin anti-tank rocket launcher currently used by the U.S. military. |
|
| |
|
| Many M41s are equipped with a [[Smart-linking|smart-linked]] fire control module and target tracking systems; these systems allow the operator to track a target, which often guarantees that the target will be struck, even if it attempts evasive maneuvers.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} While the M41 rocket launcher is optimized for ground targets, engineers at Misriah Armory have developed tweaks,{{Ref/Reuse|2015hw}} integrating an enhanced tracking system on certain models of the M41.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} Subsequently, some launchers are capable of tracking both ground-based and airborne targets,{{Ref/Game|Id=H2|H2|Gameplay}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Wars|HW|Gameplay}} while others are capable of tracking only aircrafts.{{Ref/Game|Id=HR|HR|Gameplay}} Some M41s lack any form of tracking technology, requiring the operator to "dumb fire" the weapon without targeting assistance.{{Ref/Game|Id=CE|CE|Gameplay}}{{Ref/Game|Id=H3|H3|Gameplay}}{{Ref/Game|Id=ODST|H3ODST|Gameplay}}
| | This is not the same rocket launcher as the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]] used in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo 2]]. The M41 is, however, directly derived from the M19 SSM models, and is indeed nearly identical to the first variant of the M19 as seen in Halo. |
|
| |
|
| Multiple variants of the M41 have been observed, with functional and aesthetic differences. Although the [[M41D SPNKr]] has no magnification optics attached, it possesses a smart-linked fire control module. The M41D features a trigger guard, and an ergonomic thumbhole stock, adding the impression of greater bulk. However, the [[M41B SPNKr|M41B model]] lack these design features, possessing only a pistol grip and no trigger guard, resulting in a more skeletal overall appearance.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}
| | ==Changes From [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]]== |
| | *The M41 rocket in Halo 3 travels faster than its [[M19]] counterpart. |
| | *The tubing is also a metallic silver color rather then a synthetic black. |
| | *It does not have the homing feature offered in the [[Halo 2]] M19 model. |
|
| |
|
| The model used in October [[2558]], and the M41D variants used during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], has a [[Weapon Serial Numbers|serial number]] of "00051405".{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}{{Ref/Game|Id=hi|HI|Gameplay}}
| | ==Advantages== |
| | [[Image:Halo-3-20070701114844717.jpg|right|thumb|200px| A Spartan wielding the M41 SSR.]] |
| | The rocket launcher spreads a huge amount of damage over a large area, capable of taking out entire groups of targets at any range and can kill all the riders of nearly any vehicle (with the exception of the [[Scorpion Tank]] or [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]) with one direct hit. It's very useful for killing [[Hunters]] with one shot, which are often the most difficult enemies to kill. It also has moderate rate of fire, as it is able to fire a second rocket almost two seconds after the first, making it useful for an outnumbered player to defeat or frighten multiple enemies. It is also very effective on [[Brute Chopper|Choppers]], as they can't turn sharp corners very fast. Plus if you practice, you can learn to bend rocket trajectories around corners with grenades thrown before hand. |

| | ==Disadvantages== |
| ===History===
| | Several things counterbalance the rocket launcher's sheer power: |
| Though there have been various shoulder-launched rocket launchers in service with the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces since its creation, only the M41 rocket launcher has the tactical importance to be heavily manufactured.{{Ref/Reuse|2015hw}} The M41 SSR has been in service with the UNSC for decades since [[2481]],{{Ref/Reuse|osfm}} predating even the [[Insurrection]], during which it was used by the UNSC and the Insurrectionists.{{Ref/Reuse|2016hw}} Over time, the M41's role shifted from an anti-vehicular weapon to an all-purpose heavy weapon, even used in demolition purposes.{{Ref/Reuse|enc11}} While it was obsolete before the [[Human-Covenant War]] began, it was not replaced by the [[M57 Pilum]] until the [[Created conflict]] to counter [[Promethean Knight]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|2016hw}} However, even after it was replaced, it still saw use in [[War Games]] matches aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5G|H5G|Gameplay}}
| | *It reloads slowly. |
| | *Ammunition is often unavailable, and the player can carry only 6 extra rockets at once, for a total of 8 rounds. |
| | *It can damage or kill its operator if fired carelessly near or into surrounding terrain or when it's user is extremely close to an enemy. |
| | *The explosion from the rocket can accidentally kill friendly units near the target. |
| | *The lock-on feature from Halo 2 has been disabled in Halo 3 to balance the weapon, though the rockets apparently still track targets automatically in certain cases. |
| | *In Halo 3, an explosion near a rocket in flight will cause it to deflect. Deflected rockets tumble end over end, and will explode if they strike an object. However, the damage they do is reduced significantly; a deflected rocket will not kill a player with full shields. |
| | *The [[Gravity Hammer]] can be used to deflect rockets. However, because this requires very good timing, and is much harder to execute when the rocket is aimed at a floor or wall instead of directly at the target, this is of questionable utility. |
| | *An explosion or a well-placed bullet can and will destroy a fired rocket. |
| | *The rockets travel at slow speeds, allowing the would-be victim to dodge (given that nothing is blocking their escape). This wastes a rocket (which is usually rare in ammunition). This escape requires decent timing because the rocket travels faster in [[Halo 3]] than in the other halo games. To counter this, the person with the SPNKr should aim at the floor around their target, so that they can at least give them some splash damage. |

| == Variants == | | ==Influences== |
| * '''[[SPNKr EM|M41 SPNKr EM]]''': Improved variant with four rockets per magazine and the ability to lock onto ground and air vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| | The M41 SSR MAV/AW was inspired by the SPNKr rocket launcher from the ''Marathon'' series. The launcher itself is also nicknamed SPNKr (pronounced "spanker") due to the labeling on rockets and rectangular ammunition cases. |
| * '''[[SPNKr EX|M41 SPNKr EX]]''': Advanced variant that fires laser-guided cluster warhead rockets that detonate in proximity to enemies, releasing an effect similar to the fields of [[Z-400 splinter grenade|splinter grenades]], albeit without the disintegration effect. It also produces a large red glare if used with Smart-Link.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| | [[Image:1204275093 Spnkr mssile.jpg|300px|thumb|right|A HEAT Rocket.]] |
| * '''[[SPNKr Prime|M41 SPNKr Prime]]''': [[Mythic weapon|Mythic]] variant that fires fast, powerful rockets. Spartans that use the SPNKr Prime in War Games also get boosts to movement speed, shield strength, and jump height.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
| |
| * '''[[M41B SPNKr]]''': A variant with a pistol grip and no trigger guard, but features 2× magnification.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}
| |
| * '''[[M41D SPNKr]]''': A variant with no magnification optics. Used during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|hi}}

| | ==Multiplayer Role== |
| File:Halo 5 SPNKR EM.png|M41 SPNKr EM.
| | Acquiring the rocket launcher in a [[multiplayer]] game may prove difficult, since by default (on most maps) it spawns in a central, fought-over area (players who know the level know where the Rocket Launcher is and thus clashes with the enemy for the weapon are quite common, usually when the match first starts). However, once acquired, this weapon can become very effective for all the reasons mentioned above - it can take out a large group of enemies in one shot, and can easily eliminate vehicles. Since head-on collisions with the rocket are difficult to obtain, especially in open areas, it is prudent to aim at the ground in front of the enemy or the wall to their side. Though, the shot may miss, the splash damage will often kill the opponent. Bear in mind, there is a short delay of around .25-.5 of a second between the player pulling the trigger and the rocket actually leaving the barrel. It may not sound like much, but it is actually a very important consideration for accurate shooting, particularly when deflection shooting. |

| ==Gameplay==
| | In Halo 2, the Rocket Launcher was often considered to be a [[Noob|"noobish"]] weapon due to its high power and low talent curve. Furthermore, the weapon would not respawn when it had been picked up, even if it was out of ammo; many players would keep an empty Rocket Launcher just to deny anyone else access it. With Halo 3's revamped weapon spawn system, this aspect of the weapon is no longer effective, and the Rocket Launcher has, as a rule, taken more skill and economy to use. However, many modern [[Halo 3]] players still consider it to be a [[noob]] weapon because of its destructive power and the fact that it can very easily end a veteran player's killing streak. This is possibly, however, merely a reaction coming from players that feel cheated after being hit by a lucky rocket. Due to the large splash damage radius that this weapon causes, many players tend to use this over other weapon types when they attempt to get the multi-kill medals. |
| {{Main|Rocket Launcher}}
| | |
| The M41 SPNKr and its variants are featured as a usable weapon in most of the ''Halo'' games, starting with ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and continuing through to ''[[Halo Infinite|Infinite]]''. In most of these, it is known as the "Rocket Launcher", though ''Halo 5: Guardians'' calls it the "SPNKr Rocket Launcher" as the name "Rocket Launcher" was given to the [[M57 Pilum]] instead. 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.

| {{Linkbox|gameplay=yes|gallery=yes|gallerypage=Images of M41 rocket launcher}}
| | *The rockets fired from the Rocket Launcher are similar to the rockets fired from the [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] in [[Halo 3]]. |
| *The weapon was identified as the M19 SSM rocket launcher in the [[Halo: Combat Evolved manual|game manuals of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'']] and [[Halo 2 manual|''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'', while the M41D designation was given to the ''Halo Infinite'' variant.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} | | *Rockets was recently made into a Double EXP weekend playlist, which included ''Splockets'' (Spartans lasers and Rockets), and also ''Snockets'' (Snipers and Rockets). |
| *The M41 SPNKr, especially in its appearances starting from ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', is aesthetically similar to the [[marathongame:SPNKr SSM Launcher|SPNKr-XP surface-to-surface missile launcher]] from [[Marathon|''Marathon 2'' and ''Marathon Infinity'']]. This weapon is also the source of the M41's "SPNKr" moniker. | | *The Rocket Launcher has a considerable recoil, although the very nature of it's design requires it to be recoilless. When the rocket is fired, the flame and energy generated by its flight is shunted through the tubes which jut from behind the user's shoulder. Therefore, there should be very little to no energy to cause the rocket launcher to "hop". |
| ** In ''[[Wikipedia:Destiny 2|Destiny 2]]''{{'}}s Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack, the rocket launcher [[Destinypedia:Gjallarhorn|Gjallarhorn]], which debuted in the original ''Destiny'', makes an appearance. Its new alternate appearance is "GJNKR", referencing both the original ''Marathon'' weapon and the ''Halo'' weapon. However, the appearance of GJNKR looks more like the [[Cut Halo: Combat Evolved weapons#Rocket launcher|pre-release SPNKr 108 SAM]] than anything from ''Marathon''.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/830YsmV ''Imgur'', Comparison]</ref>
| | *If a [[frag|Frag Grenade]], [[Spike Grenade]], or [[Gravity Hammer]] splash hits a rocket, it will spiral out of control and go to a different direction. |
| *If the player uses [[Emile-A239]]'s voice in [[Firefight]], he will occasionally say ''"Someone's gonna pay!"'' when he readies a rocket launcher. This is a reference to the level ''If I Had a Rocket Launcher, I'd Make Someone Pay'' from ''[[Marathon|Marathon 2: Durandal]]'', which, in turn, was named after the [[Wikipedia:Bruce Cockburn|Bruce Cockburn]] song [[Wikipedia:If I Had a Rocket Launcher|''If I Had a Rocket Launcher'']].
| | *The Rocket Launcher is the main weapon used in the retired playlist [[Rocket Race]], which is now a Double Exp Weekend playlist. |
| *In ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', while the in-game model reuses the one from ''Halo: Reach'', the design of the M41 SPNKr depicted in [[Blur Studio]]'s pre-rendered cutscenes is based on [[:File:HR RocketLauncher Concept.jpg|a piece of ''Halo: Reach'' concept art]], featuring minor differences including a different foregrip design and blue (instead of yellow) decals on the twin-tube unit. This unique design was also featured in [[:File:Sunray1-1.png|a piece of concept art]] for ''[[Halo Wars 2]]: [[Halo Wars 2: Operation: SPEARBREAKER|Operation: SPEARBREAKER]]'', being held by [[Elijah Vaughan]]. | | *In [[Halo 3]], it is possible to shoot down the rockets fired from this weapon with a [[Battle Rifle]] or a [[Covenant Carbine]] as well as a [[Sniper Rifle]] or a [[Particle Beam Rifle]]. This is probably possible with other head-shot enabled weapons. The [[SMG]], however, will not work. This was tested thoroughly in [[Theater Mode]]. There is a slight delay between when the shot hits the rocket and when the rocket explodes, however, which should be taken into consideration. |
| | | *A rocket from your own Rocket Launcher cannot hit you. You can be killed by your explosion, but the rocket itself will pass though you if you meet it. |
| == Gallery ==
| | *On the side of the launcher, five letters form "SPNKR", which is pronounced like the the word Spanker, because of its firepower, as well as being a reference to the Rocket Launcher from the [[Marathon]] series. |
| === ''Halo: Reach'' ===
| | *In Halo 3, Elites wield the rocket launcher without holding the handle, while Spartans use the handle. This is because Elites rest the back of the Rocket launcher on their shoulder. |
| <gallery>
| | *Though it carries much less ammo, it is often preferred over the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] due to the rocket being stronger, faster, more accurate, possessing larger splash damage, and can't deflect off the terrain like the Fuel Rod Gun can. |
| File:HR_RocketLauncher_Concept.jpg|Concept art of the M41 SSR MAV/AW.
| | *The missle being projectiled has power to or around that of a tank. It takes 3 or 4 tank shots to kill a wraith, and 2 rocket shots. It takes 4 or 5 tank shots to kill phantom and about 9 or 10 rockets. The tank also brings down scarabs faster, but the rocket launcher will kill a chopper in one hit, and a tank might take 2 shots. Differences aside they are both MUCH stronger than a wraith shot, both normal and AA. |
