And that is how you do it, men!
The Soldier on proper rocket-to-foot measurements

The Rocket Jumper is a training primary weapon for the Soldier Class which was released with the Mann-Conomy Update. Its appearance is identical to the Rocket Launcher.

As the first training item, the Rocket Jumper fires completely harmless rockets allowing players to freely practice Rocket jumping techniques. The ammo count is also tripled, giving the user forty extra rockets.
