bazooka

A bazooka is a portable rocket launcher used for military purposes.

Imagine you're watching an action movie or reading about war. You might hear someone say, "The soldier grabbed his bazooka and fired at the enemy." The word bazooka usually refers to a specific type of weapon that shoots explosive rockets. In casual conversations, people often use it as a synonym for other types of rocket launchers or even just as an exaggeration for any kind of powerful object – like saying "I've got a bazooka in my trunk" when you really have a big tool or something.
