==Design details==
==Overview==
Though there have been various shoulder-launched rocket launchers in service with the [[UNSC Armed Forces]] since its creation, only the M41 rocket launcher has the tactical importance to be heavily manufactured.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The M41 SSR has been in service with the UNSC for decades, as early as the [[Insurrection]].{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}
[[File:HINF SPNKR Reload.png|250px|left|thumb|A [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]] inserting the disposable twin-tube unit into an M41D SPNKr.]]
===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 rocket launcher fires [[M19 surface-to-surface missile|M19 102mm high-explosive shaped charge missiles]]. 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 pair of detachable barrels, 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 removes the barrel unit and inserts another. This allows the operator to quickly reload while in combat and greatly reduces the weight he carries without throwing the weapon away, as with some disposable rocket launchers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}
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}}


The M41 rocket launcher features a 2× [[smart-linking|smart-linked]] sight, allowing users to fire rockets over long distances with devastating accuracy, although the rockets' altitude decreases over long distances. Many M41s and their M19 rockets are equipped with target tracking systems;{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} these systems allow the operator to "home" on a target, which often guarantees that the target will be struck, even if it attempts evasive maneuvers. Some launchers are capable of tracking both ground-based and airborne targets,<ref name="H2">'''Halo 2'''</ref><ref name="Wars">'''Halo Wars'''</ref> while others are capable of tracking only aircraft.<ref name="Reach">'''Halo: Reach'''</ref> Some M41s lack any form of tracking technology, requiring the operator to "dumb fire" the weapon without targeting assistance.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved'''</ref><ref name="H3">'''Halo 3'''</ref><ref name="ODST">'''Halo 3: ODST'''</ref>
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}}


Some M41s feature a trigger guard, and an ergonomic thumbhole stock, adding the impression of greater bulk.{{Ref/Reuse|Reach}}<ref name="Anniversary">'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'''</ref> However, other versions lack these design features, possessing only a pistol grip and no trigger guard, resulting in a more skeletal overall appearance.{{Ref/Reuse|H2}}{{Ref/Reuse|Wars}}{{Ref/Reuse|H3}}{{Ref/Reuse|ODST}}
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}}


The model used in October [[2558]] has a [[Weapon Serial Numbers|serial number]] of "00051405".{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
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}}

===History===
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}}

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
===Advantages===
{{Main|Rocket Launcher}}
The rocket launcher spreads a huge amount of damage over a large area. It is capable of taking out entire groups of infantry at any range and can kill both the passengers and crew of nearly any vehicle like the [[M808B Main Battle Tank]] or a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]]. Its ability to fire two shots in rapid succession is also a major advantage.
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.
 
===Disadvantages===
The M41 SSR, though powerful, is implemented in-game as an anti-vehicle weapon, not designed for engaging infantry. Thus, its reload time is quite slow, as it takes about three to five seconds for the M41 to be fully reloaded. The rockets are slow and leave a trail of smoke in their wake, giving away the operator's position. Ammunition is often limited or unavailable, and the operator can carry only six extra rockets at once, for a total of 8 rounds. The biggest disadvantage to the operator is the blast radius of a rocket; if fired too close the splash damage can severely injure or kill its operator if fired carelessly into surrounding terrain or at a close enemy.
 
===Halo: Spartan Strike and Halo: Spartan Assault===
The M41 SSR is an exclusive weapon that can be purchased with 1000 Credits in both games. It is provided with 150 ammunition with a very high fire rate but a damage output 30% less than original damage (requiring five shots to destroy a Wraith). In ''Spartan Strike'' Mission E-5: Hold the Line, the player can equip the Rocket Launcher scattered around the LZ for free.

*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 M41 SSR 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 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.
*On the last [[Coastal Highway|level]] of ''Halo 3: ODST'' there are four rocket launchers with 1000 rockets each for use in ''[[Vidmaster Challenge: Deja Vu]]''. 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.
** 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 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'']].

*In the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' level ''[[The Maw]]'', the rocket launcher is one of two ways you can rig the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'']] to explode and destroy [[Installation 04]]. The other is a [[fragmentation grenade]].
*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]].

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,[12] and commonly known as the Jackhammer or the SPNKr (pronounced "spanker"), is a heavy ordnance weapon used by the UNSC and Insurrectionists.[10] It is manufactured by Misriah Armory.[1][4][8] Nicknames for the M41 SPNKr include Pain, Launcher, Breath of God, and Can Opener.[9]

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

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.[12][10] The launcher is 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,[4] 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.[13]

The M41 accepts a variety of ammunition types, with the most common being the unguided M19 102mm surface-to-surface missile.[1] Other ammunitions include the M21 antipersonnel rocket,[7] guided missiles, and hunter-killer loitering munitions.[3]

Many M41s are equipped with a 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.[1] While the M41 rocket launcher is optimized for ground targets, engineers at Misriah Armory have developed tweaks,[5] integrating an enhanced tracking system on certain models of the M41.[4] Subsequently, some launchers are capable of tracking both ground-based and airborne targets,[14][15] while others are capable of tracking only aircrafts.[16] Some M41s lack any form of tracking technology, requiring the operator to "dumb fire" the weapon without targeting assistance.[17][18][19]

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 model lack these design features, possessing only a pistol grip and no trigger guard, resulting in a more skeletal overall appearance.[4]

The model used in October 2558, and the M41D variants used during the Battle for Zeta Halo, has a serial number of "00051405".[20][21]

History[edit]

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.[5] The M41 SSR has been in service with the UNSC for decades since 2481,[3] predating even the Insurrection, during which it was used by the UNSC and the Insurrectionists.[10] Over time, the M41's role shifted from an anti-vehicular weapon to an all-purpose heavy weapon, even used in demolition purposes.[9] 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 Knights.[10] However, even after it was replaced, it still saw use in War Games matches aboard the UNSC Infinity.[20]

Variants[edit]

  • M41 SPNKr EM: Improved variant with four rockets per magazine and the ability to lock onto ground and air vehicles.[20]
  • 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 splinter grenades, albeit without the disintegration effect. It also produces a large red glare if used with Smart-Link.[20]
  • M41 SPNKr Prime: 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.[20]
  • M41B SPNKr: A variant with a pistol grip and no trigger guard, but features 2× magnification.[4]
  • M41D SPNKr: A variant with no magnification optics. Used during the Battle for Zeta Halo.[4][21]

Gameplay[edit]

Main article: 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 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.
