Rocket
Damage: Varies, direct hit = 120
Reload Time: 0,8s

Machine Gun
Damage: 30 per bullet
Reload Time: 0,1s

Maximum Ammo: 60
Usage:
Strongest weapon for close and mid-range attacks.
Especially useful when rockets and shotgun can't be used, e.g. when you directly have to face your enemy on a plain territory.
Due to spread of the shots, it is not very handy for long-range fights.
