SAM

"This launcher carries 7 rockets, each loaded individually. Deals reduced damage and lower blast radius per rocket, but increased rate of fire. Use alt-fire to load up rockets and unleash a barrage! Pre-loading is not required if you are airborne!" In-game description

The SAM is a slot 1 weapon for Bazooker whose rockets are quite weak compared to the others, but can be fired in quick succession. While airborne, barrages can be fired without having to pre-load, allowing the user to immediately deploy heavy bombardment towards a location.

The SAM resembles an M202-FLASH in real life. Strangely enough, it could load in 7 rockets at once despite having only 4 tubes to fit them in.

Tactics

 * Since it functions very similarly to the rocket launcher, the same tactics can be used for this weapon. See the rocket launcher's page for the general tactics you should know on how to use this effectively.


 * The SAM is alot more devastating at close-mid range combat, as its effectiveness drops off the further away the enemy is due to the rockets being affected by gravity and having spread.


 * Going airborne is good when using the SAM, as you can skip the pre-load action before firing a barrage.
 * You could reload another rocket right after rocket jumping to have more rockets fired in a barrage.


 * Although pre-loading while grounded allows you to control your rockets better, making you very dangerous at close range.
 * Holding a pre-loaded SAM will slow you down by alot, so only pre-load when needed.
 * You could also pre-load while reloading rockets to have a barrage ready as soon as you finish reloading. It is recommended to start pre-loading once you have atleast 2 rockets loaded.

Trivia
The SAM was accidentally added into the game prior to its release, and is the only slot 1 weapon for Bazooker that has its rockets be affected by gravity.

SAM stands for Surface-to-Air Missile, and is used as an anti-air weapon in real life. In The Flappy Men however, its role seems to be reversed, where its missiles are shot from air to surface.
