Welcome to the United States of YOU JUST GOT DOMINATED!
The Soldier on liberty

The Liberty Launcher is a primary weapon for the Soldier. It is an army green rocket launcher with tan wooden handles, a leaf sight, adorned with a white U.S. Army insignia, and a wooden shoulder-rest with a wire frame exhaust port.

The Liberty Launcher's projectile travels at a rate of 1540 Hammer Units per second - roughly 66 mph - 40% faster than the default Rocket Launcher's rockets. However, it can only have three rockets loaded at once, compared to the default Rocket Launcher's four.
