Missile launcher
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Portable, handheld missile launchers were common heavy assault weapons used by artillery divisions of many military forces.
They were necessary in various types of combat to destroy enemy vehicles, command stations, and eradicate large numbers of infantrymen. An example included the PLX-1 portable missile launcher. In many different armies, certain soldiers were especially trained to use missile launchers. These types of soldiers included Separatist assault droids, Clone heavy troopers, Rebel Vanguards, IG-100 MagnaGuards and Imperial shock troopers.
PTL missile launchers were used by pilots mainly within cruiser hangars to quickly wipe out penetrating starfighters that deployed foes.
