The Air Strike 1 - 100 Increases attack speed while blast jumping Clip size increased on kill -25% damage penalty -25% clip size -15% explosion radius

The Air Strike is a community-created primary weapon for the Soldier. It is a green atom bomb-shaped rocket launcher with a white checkered pattern near the front. It fires a green and white missile with fins on the front and back of the projectile.

While rocket jumping, its attack speed is increased heavily. In addition, every enemy killed with this weapon (up to 5) increases the number of rockets its clip can hold (up to 8.) Although the Air Strike's rockets explode 15% less, as well as 25% less damagingly, firing all 8 of them down upon an encroaching group of enemies is a wondrous sight. A hidden attribute reduces its rocket jump damage by 25% as well.

If an Eyelander, Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker or Nessie's Nine Iron wielding Demoman kills a Soldier who has accumulated any number of Air Strike kills, the number of kills will be transferred over to the Demoman's head count, as well as the Soldier's own head.

The Air Strike was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "The Atom Launcher".
