M-55
Notes: This is a light rocket launcher for antiarmor use as well as general antipersonnel and antibunker use. Though it is an older weapon, it is a very modern design, with a compact yet powerful (4x) telescopic sight. It is an overcaliber weapon like the RPG series. The M-55 is generally issued one per infantry platoon, and is also used by other arms. It is a rare sight outside of Finland, and is built to a standard of quality normally not present in such launchers.

SM58-61
Notes: This was the only heavy recoilless gun found in Finnish service, but it was supplanted by ATGM and was relegated to a reserve role and to use in an anti-avalanche role. It comes on a light wheeled carriage and may also be mounted on a vehicle with minimal fuss. A 12.7mm spotting rifle is used to help aiming; each hit by the spotting rifle on the target increases the chance that a follow-up rocket shot will have by +1, up to a maximum of +3.
