Stuff Blowing Up is pretty neat. It allows one to kill swarms of enemies (or one really big one), and looks really cool. The addition of a rocket to a bomb adds an extended range, and makes it at least twice as cool because now it rides around on a trail of fire. Two great tastes that taste great together! Even rockets without an explosive attached are at least 20% More Awesome than bullets (it's the fire), but rockets and explosives tend to work very well together, making rockets alone in military applications very rare. However, the average rocket-firing weapon is a rather large affair; roughly the size of a cannon. Wouldn't it be neat if there was a way to miniaturize rocket launchers? Enter the Pocket Rocket Launcher. A weapon that fires those neato rockets without weighing a ton. There is a reason that this sort of thing isn't usually done in real life. Rockets have a number of disadvantages compared to good ol' bullets. Rockets are quite slow and inaccurate compared to bullets, which is why they're reserved for targets the size of a car or bigger, and also why they're usually tipped with explosives, compensating for their inaccuracy with Splash Damage. (Furthermore, an explosive charge doesn't actually need to be going all that fast: all the killing power is in the blast effects of the warhead, wether that's the sudden pressure change, sharp fragments being driven into the body, or the violent injection of boiling metal into the target. That being said, some rockets-known as missiles-can be targeted with pinpoint accuracy, but they lack the punch to do much more than bruise.) They also have a nasty tendency to burn their operators if not constructed right, and while the military likes things to work right, they're also massive cheapskates. Everything is made by the lowest bidder, and those inherently dangerous, slow, inaccurate rockets cost many times more than a bullet. Expensive, finnicky weapons funded by skinflints tend to be things best avoided. Furthermore, if the rocket explodes, similar to Throw Down the Bomblet, you don't want to be anywhere near the thing. "Friendly Fire" isn't. These have an odd tendency to be depicted as a Super Wrist-Gadget in fiction. There is some overlap with the Flare Gun trope, as flares are rocket propelled, and are fired from a modified 12-gauge shell. This is more for practical reasons than Rule of Cool, since they're usually fired from a dinky plastic launcher that can't hold any pressure itself. Since they aren't actual weapons, they don't have to be at all accurate (all they need to hit is the sky), and actually need to be as flashy as possible to achieve their true goal of attracting the attention of Search-and-Rescue personnel. As a good rule-of-thumb, all flare guns (barring specific outliers that shall not be counted) are Pocket Rocket Launchers, but not all Pocket Rocket Launchers are flare guns. Not to be confused with Hand Cannon, which is about very large conventional handguns, or a Grenade Launcher, which fires explosive projectiles that don't propel themselves with an engine like a rocket. The trope name is based off the "pocket rocket," a type of motorcycle noted for both small size ("pocket") and high speed ("rocket"). May or may not be a Homing Projectile. A subtrope of Fantastic Firearms. |

The rocket launcher used in the Doom novelization uses rockets about the size of a "D"-battery, justifying how the one from the game had such a big magazine size. | |

Usagi-chan de Cue!!: When Dekao faces Inaba on a public beach, he manages to punch her in the midsection with a rocket fist. This blows knocks her into the sea. There, she commandeers a jet-ski, and attempts to ram Dekao with it. To Inaba's surprise, Dekao deploys launch tubes from his shoulders, loosing six missiles in total at her. Inaba jumps clear just before the missiles destroy the jet-ski. | |

In the The Man from U.N.C.L.E. tie-in novel "The Monster Wheel Affair," a Gyrojet pistol is used by the Big Bad of the book . It's noted that it's a pretty strange gun for him to be carrying, a sure sign of overkill, and then dismissed by Napoleon Solo as more proof of the man's megalomania. | |

Plan 7 of 9 from Outer Space While buying weapons, Captain Proton rejects a rocket pistol designed for Outer Space because practical experience has shown that the rocket-propelled bullets bounce off if they're too close to their target because they haven't accelerated to full velocity. Later The Dragon empties a rocket gun at point blank range at our heroes and is amazed when they're unharmed. Proton is also offered a Mix-and-Match Weapon with a Long List of options culminating in a "rocket-boosted terminal-guided multi-stage thermonuclear anti-satellite minimissile." |

Enter the Gungeon: A common passive item is the "Rocket-Propelled Bullet," which increases the projectile velocity of non-hitscan weaponry. The Yari Launcher is a weapon that resembles a shotgun, and burst-fires homing missiles. The Jetpack active item and Backpack passive item combine to allow the player to launch a rocket when activating the jetpack. The Zorgun fires a random explosive when its magazine is emptied, including a rocket-propelled grenade. The Alien Engine allows it to fire three such projectiles as its clip empties, and the Shadow Bullet's bonus projectiles will always be one of these special rounds. |

Atomic Rockets calls these simply "rocket guns," and specifically name-drops the gyrojet. It notes that the launchers are very light and cheap (which is great for spaceships with conventional engines, as they have very strict weight restrictions), and due to the nature of rockets, are nearly silent, and have next to no heat buildup or recoil (recoil is way less of a problem than you might think in zero-gee combat-in short, a soldier in full battledress, plus gun, outmasses a bullet so much that they'd go precisely nowhere even if they don't Take Cover!, which they of course will; barring deliberately using the gun as a very inefficient thruster for some reason-but nobody likes having their guns melt; especially if they burn a hole in your spacesuit doing so). With specialized ammo (various kinds of Trick Bomb warheads, and/or dial-a-range rounds to prevent decompression of a habitable spaceship compartment), it could be a great future-tech weapon to arm your characters with. | |

James Bond: You Only Live Twice. Tiger Tanaka demonstrates a Gyrojet pistol for Bond, which for Rule of Cool causes a straw dummy target to burst into flame. Unlike most examples here, there are also Gyrojet rifles on the table, which get used by Tanaka's ninja army during the final battle. Bond is also issued a trick cigarette which fires a "baby (miniature) rocket" when lighted. Thunderball: SPECTRE agent Fiona Volpe uses a BSA A65 Lightning motorcycle fitted with rockets to assassinate fellow agent Count Lippe because he revealed the plan’s existence to James Bond (ironically, she does this just as Lippe is in the middle of a car chase and shooting at Bond). The rockets, which come out of the Lightning’s air intakes, are approximately the size of a soda can. In the prologue of The Spy Who Loved Me, Bond kills the lover of Soviet Agent Triple-X with a rocket concealed on the tip of one of his skiing poles. One of the gag weapons experiments in The Living Daylights that show up in Q's lab is a rocket launcher concealed within a boom box, affectionately called the "Ghetto Blaster." Goldeneye has a scene where Q has a rocket launcher hidden in a leg cast he got from a hunting accident. In Never Say Never Again, one of the gadgets James Bond is provided by Algernon the quartermaster is a miniature rocket launcher disguised as a fountain pen. Bond ends up using it to blow up SPECTRE agent Fatima Blush when Blush, eager to obtain proof that she was the one who killed the legendary James Bond, orders him to write a letter at gunpoint. |

From Borderlands 2 onward, Torgue manufactures shotguns, pistols (one of them even called the Pocket Rocket), and assault rifles that utilize small rockets with high-explosive warheads. They also license the technology to the other gun companies on Pandora, which fire slightly smaller rockets at about half the efficiency. By 3, they can swap between Impact fuse and HESH modes, and may incorporate elemental effects due to the new way the game handles Explosive weapons (as bonus Splash Damage rather than an element in and of itself). Torgue Engineers from the "Mr. Torgue's Capaign of Carnage!" DLC have a small rapid-fire rocket launcher in their back-mounted turret. |

Ork Rokkit Launchas are handheld weapons that can fire salvoes of rockets at the general vicinity of the target (orks and accuracy are not on speaking terms). The weapon (in some cases; orks and mass-production are also estranged) consists of an assault rifle stock with a rocket rack carrying half-a-dozen antitank rockets mounted on the barrel (this is the model used for Dawn of War II) or a single, big rocket fired from a rifle receiver (DoW 1). | |

Boba Fetts' backpack missile reappears in season 2: Cobb Vanth uses it to blow up a transport full of goons and distract the Krayt dragon in "The Marshal". Later, in "The Tragedy", Boba Fett regains his armor from Din and puts the full arsenal(see film section) to use. |

Warframe features Angstrum, a Corpus-produced sidearm that shoots tiny explosive rockets; and Kulstar, a Grineer-produced sidearm that shoots torpedoes that fragment into grenades. The warframe Gauss also has two signature weapons: Akarius and Acceltra, a pair of pistols and a machine gun respectively that shoot missiles that become explosive after reaching a safe distance from the gun's user. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Several of Tony Stark's Iron Man suits starting with the Mark Inote A blink and you'll miss it moment during his initial escape reveals hidden under a hatch on his arm is a crude IED rocket. Tony lights the fuze manually with the pilot light on his flamethrowers are armed with small missile launchers. In Iron Man, he uses shoulder-mounted launchers to handle a Hostage Situation while intervening against the Ten Rings in Afghanistan, simultaneously killing the half-dozen hostage takers with headshots. It also packs a larger wrist-mounted missile capable of killing a tank. Iron Man 2: Rhodey's War Machine suit is created by upgrading Tony's old Mark II suit with extra weapons provided by Justin Hammer's company. These include a shoulder-launched missile about an inch across which Hammer talks up as a bunker-buster he calls "the Ex-Wife". It turns out to be a dud. In The Avengers, Tony's Mark 7 suit has tiny rocket launchers in both shoulders, which he uses to throw a Macross Missile Massacre at the first wave of Chitauri hover bikes, but he runs out of ammunition before he can make much of a dent in their numbers. |

Star Finder has a weapon called the "Multistage Rifle," a rifle-sized gun firing explosive rockets with two or more disposable stages to extend its range. When one rocket is out of fuel, it drops away and the next one starts up, similar to an Apollo or Soyuz rocket. | |

Borderlands: Carnage shotguns fire a (usually) high-explosive rocket. From Borderlands 2 onward, Torgue manufactures shotguns, pistols (one of them even called the Pocket Rocket), and assault rifles that utilize small rockets with high-explosive warheads. They also license the technology to the other gun companies on Pandora, which fire slightly smaller rockets at about half the efficiency. By 3, they can swap between Impact fuse and HESH modes, and may incorporate elemental effects due to the new way the game handles Explosive weapons (as bonus Splash Damage rather than an element in and of itself). Torgue Engineers from the "Mr. Torgue's Capaign of Carnage!" DLC have a small rapid-fire rocket launcher in their back-mounted turret. In Borderlands 3, Vladof (think the arms manufacturer equivalent of those guys who make Chet Guevara T-shirts) has underbarrel mini-rocket launchers as a possible Secondary Fire mode for their pistols and sniper rifles. The Logical Extreme of this is the legendary Ogre assault rifle, which fires nothing BUT mini rockets. |

Halo Infinite The Hydra MLRS, a rocket-firing carbine with enough strength to two-shot Made of Iron aliens and Super Soldiers, is a subversion, in that the darn thing weighs in at 25 pounds fully loaded, making it just as (if not more) unwieldy and unpleasant to carry as any full-sized rocket launcher, despite being the size of, looking, and handling like a rifle. Functionally, the Hydra is an Expy of the Doom/Quake rocket launcher, with extremely similar fire rate and relative damage, serving as an anti-personnel rocket launcher compared to the slower but more powerful standard Halo M41 SPNKR missile launcher. It also introduces the Skewer, which is only this for the Jiralhane (8-foot tall gorilla-like aliens colloquially known as "Brutes") who invented it. For everyone else, it's a full-sized rocket launcher that shoots exploding swords with a BFS for a bayonet. |

In Buck Rogers XXVC, miniature rocket launchers (pistol and rifle sized) are a standard weapon type of the 25th Century, using "smart shells" that make them ignore things like shooting around corners (the description of the weapon is similar to a gyrojet with target-seeking ammo; an evolution of the rocket guns from the book and newspaper comic strip). The problem then becomes that personal electronic spoofing devices that play havoc with the smart shells' sensors are also a standard method of protection, which means that Buck's old-school .45 revolver is a very awesome weapon because it cannot be electronically spoofed, with its only drawback being that it's hard to obtain ammunition for it. | |

Transhuman Space offers micro-missile and mini-missile pods; the latter is roughly rifle sized, but the former is more or less pistol sized, and could genuinely fit in a large pocket.

Warhammer 40,000: Bolters are a type of gun that fire armor-piercing rockets, assisted by a cold-launch system consisting of a conventional explosive cartridgenote canonically, a caseless propellant cylinder, but the art department consistenty refuses to acknowledge that and always shows a Spent Shells Shower pouring from a firing bolter. They also tend to be semi- or fully automatic. The sort used by the bio-augmented Space Marines are .75 caliber, firing rounds that weigh in at about the size of a 10-gauge shotgun shell. Deathwatch and Sternguard marines are issued with bolts carrying special warheads, such as Anti-Magic Psybolts, Hellfire bolts that explode into hundreds of flechettes poisoned with a potent chemical weapon (the emponymous Hellfire, a mutagenic acid that was developed especially for fighting Tyranids), proximity-fused Metal Storm bolts that explode into blasts of shrapnel, Vengeance rounds that EMP enemies (made to kill Traitor Marines wearing Powered Armor, hence the name. The EMP wrecks the armors circuits, sure, but it also heats the ceramite to the melting point, cooking anyone wearing it), and Dragonfire bolts that burst into clouds of flame. Scouts are equipped with the silenced "Stalker" version that replaces the cold-launch cartridge with a capsule of pressurized gas, and sport a teensy computer in them that makes them capable of seeking a designated target. Tactical marines can be equipped with Kraken rounds, which have exploding penetrators forged from Adamantium. The name comes from the wound channels, which resemble the tentacles of a sea monster. A nice side-effect is that the denser core makes the bolts fly farther. There are many more, but there's some overlap and this example is plenty long enough already. Their big brother, the Heavy Bolter, fires 1.0 caliber rounds. While most are mounted on vehicles (the Land Raider Crusader carrying a whopping twelve of them) they can also be man-portable, by a single specialist Space Marine or a two-man imperial guard team. The Aeldari Reaper Launcher is a rifle-sized mitralleuse-style weapon that fires a salvo of small armor-piercing rockets. It's roughly analogous to the Imperium's Heavy Bolter, except for its (lore-only) fancypants targeting suite that lets its wielder aim from the muzzle and see in the dark. The "Exarch" (kinda like a sergeant but more complicated; basically, Aeldari can get addicted to their jobs) version, called a "Tempest Launcher," can arc their shots to bombard entire enemy squads at once. Ork Rokkit Launchas are handheld weapons that can fire salvoes of rockets at the general vicinity of the target (orks and accuracy are not on speaking terms). The weapon (in some cases; orks and mass-production are also estranged) consists of an assault rifle stock with a rocket rack carrying half-a-dozen antitank rockets mounted on the barrel (this is the model used for Dawn of War II) or a single, big rocket fired from a rifle receiver (DoW 1). |

In Crusader, the AR-7 is a rifle-sized mini-rocket launcher that shoots out a three-missile burst in a fan pattern that will cause lots of collateral damage, every time the Silencer fires. The game's manual provides details like the fact that it's an experimental weapon, that the mini-missiles won't arm until they have flown 50 feet away from the rifle, and also renames the gun as the "SW-404 "Spitfire" Anti-Personnel Multiple Rocket Launcher". | |

The Elysium sourcebook for Mutant: Year Zero adds gyrojet weapons (available in pistol and rifle varieties). The weapons and their ammo are extremely expensive and hard to acquire, but the gyrojet rounds explode with the force of a hand grenade when they hit a target. | |

Star Wars: Battlefront II: The Bulldog RLR is a pistol used by Magnaguards that fires anti-infantry homing rockets. Super Battle Droids utilize wrist-mounted rocket launchers in place of thrown grenades. Boba Fett also uses wrist-mounted rocket launchers. |

Doom: As mentioned above, the rocket launcher from classic games had a very large magazine size: 50 rounds; double that of the player has the Backpack. It's also no bigger or harder to carry than the plasma rifle. An alt-fire mode for the Assault Rifle in Doom (2016) is a miniature heat-seeking missile rack, that fires in bursts of six. After achieving Weapon Mastery, it launches an uninterupted stream of them. It makes a return in Doom Eternal, this time mounted on a bigger gun but otherwise unchanged. |

In the Metroid games, Samus' Arm Cannon is about the size of her forearm, but can swap between an energy beam gun and a rocket/missile launcher without changing size. It can hold up to 255 rockets, if you find all the Missile Tanks. And fire the even bigger Super Missiles in games where they're separate missile weapons. | |

Dead Space 3 introduces a modular weapon system consisting of tool parts attached to various cores. By adding the Directed Suspension Field barrel to a Survey Charge core, you create an assault-rifle sized (it's only for two-handed frames) rocket launcher that can be mounted either as primary or secondary fire. Certain Gun Accessories can make it an Elemental Weapon as well, in Flame, Electric, Acid, or Stasis varieties. Sadly, it only carries two shots unless you add a huge ammount of + Ammo Capacity chips to it, whereupon it gains a third shot. And unless you also add in the Safety Guard (a late-game "scope" that protects you from explosive damage), you're going to blow yourself up with it, too | |

Bullet Storm: The pistol has a rocket launcher secondary fire mode. For some reason, it's on a timed fuse, and has enough thrust to carry an enemy up into the air. Enemy mooks (Flaregunners) use this mode exclusively. The Penetrator is a bizzarre rifle-sized weapon that fires rocket-propelled drill bits, which can screw enemies onto walls, floors, ceilings, and each other. |

In Resident Evil Village, a Gyrojet pistol is available for purchase after beating the "Village of Shadows" difficulty. It is one of the most expensive handguns available for purchase (more than the Magnum Research BFR/"Handcannon PZ") and appropriately enough it's a more destructive Hand Cannon with its capacity of hurting multiple enemies with the rocket's explosion. | |

The rockets, which come out of the Lightning’s air intakes, are approximately the size of a soda can. | |

Star Frontiers Gyrojet weapons come in pistol and rifle sizes and fire small explosive rockets. When compared to guns that fire regular bullets they do twice as much damage, but they carry half as many shots, can't be used to make fully-automatic burst attacks, and have no point blank range category (as the rockets are still gaining speed at less than 5 meters). | |
