MPA-75
Notes: This is a twin tube disposable rocket launcher designed to be both a bunker buster and antipersonnel weapon, with emergency use against armored vehicles. It is a twin-tube rocket launcher with a single sight and both rockets are fired at the same time. It is basically a twin-tube LAW-type weapon, with the empty weapon being discarded after launch.
Twilight 2000 Notes: Only in the Twilight 2000 world did this launcher see any sort of widespread use.

RL-83 Blindicide
Notes: This is a light rocket launcher used by Belgium until the late 1980s. The Blindicide can be collapsed for carrying and storage. It is basically an updated version of the US M-20A1 Super Bazooka. A large number of these weapons found their way into the hands of military, paramilitary, and terrorist forces from Lebanon to the Horn of Africa.
Twilight 2000 Notes: These weapons were taken back out of storage and issued to Belgian troops during the Twilight War. Later, they were used by Belgian troops fighting both under the French flag and opposing it.

RLC-83 Compact Launcher
Notes: As it sounds, this is basically a shorter version of the Blindicide above. It was not adopted by the Belgians or anyone else’s military, but has seen action in the Middle East, usually in the hands of irregulars.
