The SPNKR Rocket Launcher is one of the classic weapons in Halo and has been around from the very beginning. During that time, it has changed very little, always firing two shots with a short pause in between.
The damage of the Rocket Launcher is superior to most weapons and is definitely the most powerful infantry weapon that doesn't require some form of charging or other pause. Catching almost any infantry in the blast radius of a rocket is instant death though some of the larger infantry such as Hunters (which are sometimes classed as armor anyway) can take multiple shots. Similarly, this weapon can destroy some vehicles such as Banshees or Ghosts with a single shot but larger vehicles such as Wraiths or Scorpions will require multiple hits.
