Type Rocket 60
The Rocket 11s also guide our system into performing with a pleasing and punchy sense of dynamism that’s a joy to listen to. Stevie Nicks’s Edge Of Seventeen is delivered with the full, raw power of an air-punching power ballad, with while the playful clubbing rhythm of SBTRKT’s New Dorp New York charges along merrily.
- A single tube fires a 106.7mm (107mm) rocket with a HE (High-Explosive), HE-I (High-Explosive, Incendiary), or HE-FRAG (High-Explosive, FRAGmentation) warhead suitable against light armored vehicles and infantry. As an anti-personnel weapon, the Type 63 can supply a tremendous lethal punch as well as a detrimental psychological effect.
- A water rocket is a type of model rocket using water as its reaction mass. The pressure vessel (the engine of the rocket) is usually a used plastic soft drink bottle. The water is forced out by a pressurized gas, typically compressed air. It is an example of Newton's third law of motion.

The Type 4 40 cm rocket mortar (四式四〇糎噴進, Yonshiki yonjyu-senchi funshinho) was a 400 mm (16 in) rocket used by the Imperial Japanese Army in the final stages of World War II.
Development and design[edit]
The Type 4 rocket mortar was developed in the final stages of World War II by the Imperial Japanese Army Technical Bureau, as a relatively low-cost, easy to produce weapon, which had an advantage of greater accuracy over conventional mortars in that it fired a spin-stabilized projectile. The first units were deployed in 1943, and were used in limited numbers in combat during the Battle of Iwo Jima and Battle of Okinawa. Due to its ease of construction, it was produced in limited numbers and distributed to hidden arsenals for use as last-ditch weapons during the projected Allied invasion of the Japanese home islands.
Unlike the Type 4 20 cm rocket, which could be launched from an ordinary pipe or culvert with sufficient diameter, wooden rails, or even directly from a slope in the ground,[1] the Type 4 40 cm rocket required specially designed launch rails.[2]
