“

This particular variant has all the bells and whistles befitting an entire front line unit: folding sight, capacity to split into two parts for easier carrying, and a stock that can be comfortably used by one in every 500 soldiers. — Liberty Launcher publicity blurb

”

The Liberty Launcher is a community-made 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 cracked wooden shoulder-rest with a wire frame exhaust port.

This weapon is capable of launching rocket projectiles that travel at a rate of 1540 Hammer Units per second; roughly 66 mph, and 40% faster than the default Rocket Launcher's rockets. However, the Liberty Launcher can only have three rockets loaded at once.

Trivia

• The Liberty Launcher was originally named the Jumper's Trumpet, and at one point simply the Liberty.
• The Liberty Launcher's wire frame exhaust port and unusable iron sights resemble parts of the M1 Bazooka.
• The flared wooden section of the Liberty Launcher's barrel, just behind the rear grip, has a crack on the right side (the side facing away from the Soldier (you can see this by rotating the interactive model near the top of the page)). This makes that segment of the barrel look nearly identical to the Liberty Bell.
