Missile Launcher

These launchers fire two types of grenade/missile, Frag and Krak. Frag projectiles (short for fragmentation) are designed to spray an area with shrapnel, making them useful against lightly armored infantry. Krak projectiles cover less area but they have improved penetrating capabilities, making them useful for taking down either heavily armored infantry or moderately armored vehicles. Grenades, naturally, are less powerful than missiles, but are easier to fire on the move.

Grenade launchers are a weaker form of the missile launcher employed almost exclusively by the Imperial Guard, although Inquisitorial Stormtroopers and arbites units have been known to use them. Missile Launchers are used by Space Marines because their power armor gives them enhanced strength to carry them into battle.
