Yes, you can, but there's no good reasons why and a lot of good reasons why NOT.

:Yes, however your base accuracy with both attacks would be 44%, multiplied by the soldiers Firing Accuracy and then accounting for any Fatal Wounds.  So yes, from a game mechanics standpoint, it's possible.  But in practice it's not a particularly hot idea given how much damage a misfire can do, the fact that with such a low accuracy, you WILL misfire, how heavy two loaded RLs are(32-36, depending on loadout), and the fact that this burns through rather limited ammo even faster.  In fact, the Rocket Launcher's Snap accuracy is so low that it's widely opined that only the Aimed is worth anything.  [[User:Arrow Quivershaft|Arrow Quivershaft]] 23:34, 23 October 2008 (CDT)

Yes, however your base accuracy with both attacks would be 44%, multiplied by the soldiers Firing Accuracy and then accounting for any Fatal Wounds. So yes, from a game mechanics standpoint, it's possible. But in practice it's not a particularly hot idea given how much damage a misfire can do, the fact that with such a low accuracy, you WILL misfire, how heavy two loaded RLs are(32-36, depending on loadout), and the fact that this burns through rather limited ammo even faster. In fact, the Rocket Launcher's Snap accuracy is so low that it's widely opined that only the Aimed is worth anything. Arrow Quivershaft 23:34, 23 October 2008 (CDT)
