K-2 rocket launcher
The Kunihae class 2 rocket artillery, known as "smoke launcher" because of the large amounts of smoke coming from the explosions caused by its projectiles, is one of the most effective field weapons used by Kunihae. It launched 100mm rocket projectiles with fast rate from twelve barrels. When placed in lines and firing simultaneously, these weapons could be more devastating than anything used by Shourigakure. The rockets had enough firepower to be used against the Shourigakure T-1 and T-2 tanks, and enough range to destroy opposing artillery pieces. However, its weakness was in its poor accuracy. Although long range, the chance that the projectiles would actually hit a target were small. Because of this, the rockets was made so that they would cause as much collateral damage as possible, and they were also filled with sharp fragmention. Loaded with these new frag missiles, the K-2 rocket launcher became one of the most feared field weapons during the entire war. Only aircraft felt no fear for the "smoke launcher". since its poor accuracy would not allow it to hit a fast-moving airborne target. During the third battle of Taogakure, a large battery of smoke launchers was used to weaken the primary Shourigakure defense lines. The result was devastating to Shourigakure, destroying a large amount of their cannons and trenches. However, the upcoming version of the K-2, the Kunihae class 3 missile artillery, would be far more effective because of its better accuracy, range, and firepower.
