Missile launcher (Fallout 3)

The missile launcher is a big gun found in Fallout 3.
==Characteristics==
A fairly common and powerful big gun, the potential of the missile launcher is somewhat reduced by its long reload time and inability to kill anything stronger than a super mutant brute in a single shot.
===Durability===
The missile launcher can fire about 83 missiles from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Miss Launcher - A unique variant found in Fort Independence.
* Sim version - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs only in health (essentially non-degrading).
===Comparison===
==Locations==
* Missile launchers can be wielded by a wide variety of both enemies and friendlies. When encountered in squads, super mutants, raiders and Talon Company mercs usually have at least one member wielding a heavy weapon, which can be a missile launcher. 
* One can be found around the back of the Washington Monument, along with an ammunition box full of missiles.
* Commander Jabsco uses the missile launcher as his primary weapon.
* One near some metal shelves in the Capitol Building's rotunda (west entrance section).
* Two on a table in Wheaton Armory.
* One can be obtained from the VSS armory after completing Operation: Anchorage!.
* Occasionally carried by smugglers.
* One on a shelf in the cargo hold, near the research lab exit.
==Notes==
* The missile launcher will "lock-on" on certain metallic objects, such as turrets and the heads of many robot types, giving an increased chance to hit even at long range. If used in V.A.T.S. (with sufficient skill) against a fast moving target, the missile curves and tracks the targeted body part.
* A special missile launcher with no name, appearing as <Missing Name> in the inventory, can be obtained on Windows using the console command . This weapon is used by the SatCom nuclear strike and is what creates the rain of Satcom missiles that are called upon from the Satcom array. It fires missiles, however, the explosion is much larger than that of the mini nuke, and gives +40 Rads/sec at the impact zone.
