M41B SPNKr

The M41B Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle / Assault Weapon (M41B SSR MAV/AW or M41B SPNKr) is a variant of the M41 SPNKr and a heavy ordnance weapon used by the United Nations Space Command. It is manufactured by Misriah Armory.

Design details
The M41B SPNKr is a variant of the standard M41 SPNKr. Unlike other variants of the M41, the M41B lacks a smart-linked sight and a trigger guard; it possesses a pistol grip in place of an ergonomic thumbhole stock, resulting in a more skeletal overall appearance. However, the M41B features a 2× magnification optics sight, allowing users to fire rockets over long distances without relying on the use of smart-linking.

Gameplay
The M41B SPNKr is featured in Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST. In each of these games, it is a usable weapon known as the Rocket Launcher. 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.

Production notes

 * 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. The 2022 edition of the Halo Encyclopedia further expanded on the designation, giving the M41B designation to the variant first introduced in Halo: Combat Evolved.
 * On the last 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 Iron Skull is activated. If any player boards a Warthog, these rocket launchers will not spawn.
