Shogun Ripcord Launcher

Known in Japanese as the Zero-G Compact Launcher, this Synchrom System launcher shipped with every Shogun Steel starter, beginning with Samurai Ifrit. Bulkier and more detailed than the earlier Light Launcher, it adds a built-in tool feature, but its actual performance matches a basic Light Launcher 2 despite a weaker gear ratio than its alternative, the ZeroG Light Launcher.
