ABSTRACT:
A rocket launching mechanism for a shoulder held weapon which permits substantially continuous loading and firing. A two trigger system is employed -- one for firing the rocket and a second for releasing a stop mechanism which permits a spring drive means to advance a rotary feed mechanism. The rockets are loaded into a magazine which includes a cylindrical outer housing member and an inner rotor member which cooperate to form individual chambers for the rockets. A trap door means is provided in the outer housing to permit access to the rocket chambers, whereby misfired rockets may be removed, and the magazine may be readily loaded and reloaded in the field. The magazine may also be readily removable from the rest of the launching mechanism, so that an empty magazine may be quickly replaced with a fully loaded one.
