Talk:Small Launcher

Is the Small Launcer a one-handed weapon or a two-handed weapon? If one-handed, I'd consider arming a soldier with a Small Launcher in both hands. Maybe I'd consider it even it it's two-handed. -Buttons

The Small Launcher is a two-handed weapon. I sometimes equip a soldier with superb Firing Accuracy dual Small Launchers. Sure, he will still get that nasty 20% reduction in accuracy, but at least he can shoot the next round without having to reload the weapon again. But in the case of the second shot, he usually drops the unloaded weapon to the ground.--Zombie 08:23, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

Someone please clear up on one thing. The article states that this weapon is excellent against large terror units. However, other articles state that Sectopods and Cyberdiscs cannot be stunned! WHICH ONE IS TRUE???--amitakartok 14:06, 11 October 2009 (EDT)

Both of course. Sectopods and Cyberdiscs cannot be "taken alive" back to base to be interrogated. However, you can still stun them on the Battlescape. --Zombie 14:25, 11 October 2009 (EDT)

Own goal

Just a fun little anecdote to share. I mind-controlled a floater, who spotted another floater inside a farmhouse with its back turned. My floater was equipped with a small launcher, so I had it shoot the other floater through the window. Direct hit, but the other floater wasn't knocked out. The other floater immediately turned around to return fire, with what turned out to be another small launcher. It hit the wall instead of the window and knocked itself out. :-) --Ethereal Cereal 19:12, 20 January 2011 (EST)
