and there it is. weap descriptions are always transcribed verbatim, so it checks out.

the assault rifle rockets obviously never returned in the next games because 1) we got more unique weapon designs, 2) it looked ridiculous now in retrospect to the previous game where everything is recycled, 3) superseded by actual missile launchers where the projectile is at least guided compared to the previous iteration.

as for the question of mako durability, i seem to recall my mako withstanding many direct rocket hits before it even starts to smoke. and even then, all it takes is a save/reload and it's good as new. CANON! :3
