The Marsec Minilauncher is a smaller version of [[Marsec Heavy Launcher]]. It is identical in function except that it reduces practically everything, from the size weight to halving the range and power of its munitions. It's nothing more than a trigger with a rod to stick guided missiles on.

A sophisticated single handed missile launcher. Although the guided missiles are small they are quite destructive. ''From: Apocalypse Ufopaedia''

The smaller size does allow for ultra-compact rockets. This, above everything else, makes the Minilauncher much more sought after than the Heavy Launcher. The higher ammunition capacity allows the Minilauncher to be used almost like a [[Megapol Auto Cannon]] with HE shells - with the added benefit of homing capabilities. The reduced weight and the self-guiding missiles also allow for an Agent to [[Dual-wield|dual wield]] two of these weapons without much encumberance (other than the amount of ammunition necessary) or loss of accuracy, allowing for a discharge of massive firepower by a single soldier.

Like the Heavy Launcher, it comes with standard High Explosive and Incendiary Rockets. No one knows how you can fire the same rocket five times, but that minor detail is worth ignoring. Late availability of anti-alien gas even allows the mini-launcher to almost best the [[Toxigun]] during the final stretch against the aliens.

Ammunition is light with five missiles per unit which enables one agent to carry up to seventy missiles.

The lower power of the minilauncher makes it ideal for combating enemies in areas where you need to keep collateral damage down to a minimum.
 
  
−
The Minilauncher unfortunately has some licensing issues that need ironing out before X-COM is allowed to purchase them. This does not prohibit X-COM from seizing and using them beforehand from enemy organizations.

A small versatile missile launcher delivering three types light rockets with good homing ability at medium range. Ammunition is light with five missiles per unit which enables one agent to carry up to seventy missiles. Market availability is not an issue since ammunition quantities are acceptable if an agent is used in a support role and not dual-wielded. Homing ability tracks all targets well due to it high turning rate.

Explosive (HE) ammunition is weak and comparable to autocannon high explosive damage with added target homing.

Incendiary (IN) ammunition for engulfing a small group of hostiles in flames. Any unit hit with the mini rocket projectile will also suffer impact damage equal to the incendiary damage.
Note: All effects based on incendiary damage are identical.

Alien Gas (AG) ammunition for killing very small groups of alien lifeforms located in movement-restrictive areas (ie: the gas cloud is so small that they easily escape). This pink gas is Toxin-C in aerosol form. Missiles are manufactured by X-Com.


Error: Marsec does not manufacture any anti-alien-gas missiles.
