| - With a chassis akin to the E-5 blaster rifle used notably by the Trade Federation's B1 battle droids, the RLR was primarily an extremely devastating antipersonnel weapon, but was also effective against armored vehicles. The weapon held a clip of six rocket-propelled grenades and could fire them rapidly when the weapon was not locked on a target. When locked, the firing rate of the weapon was much slower, but allowed more kill power against small targets. These rockets, with a sluggish fly-time, were most effective when they could catch clone troopers off-guard or unprepared.

- The Bulldog Rocket Launching Rifle (RLR) is a weapon favoured by the ranks of the IG-100 Magna Guard. It is similar in shape to the standard CIS blaster used by infantry battle droids in Episodes I, II, and III, but fires not blaster bolts, but anti-infantry rockets. It is notable that when the 501st legion assaulted the separatist factory on Mustafar, (A playable level in the game), the player is confronted with Gizor Delso, a Geonosian who is armed with a sonic blaster and with the Bulldog RLR.

The weapon held a magazine of six rocket-propelled grenades and could fire them rapidly when the weapon was not locked on a target. When locked, the firing rate of the weapon was much slower, but allowed more kill power against small targets. These rockets, with a sluggish fly-time, were most effective when they could catch clone troopers off-guard or unprepared. The rockets also had a lock-on function, which was easily defeated by ducking behind large obstacles. This aside, the Bulldog RLR was a formidable weapon in the right hands.
- The Bulldog Rocket Launching Rifle (RLR) is a weapon favoured by the ranks of the IG-100 Magna Guard. It is similar in shape to the standard CIS blaster used by infantry battle droids in Episodes I, II, and III, but fires not blaster bolts, but anti-infantry rockets. The weapon could be locked on to targets but had a tendency to fall off said target. A typical example of the Bulldog RLR held around 30 "shots", and 6 of these rockets could be fired before needing to reload. Available exclusively to the CIS, the weapon offered the player superiority against not only infantry, but also against structures, like turrets, and some lesser-armoured vehicles. These weapons, however, could not be utilised at close range and many Magna Guards fell victim to ambush attacks on behalf of the Galactic Republic. In battle, a standard Clone Trooper armed with a blaster rifle could quite easily dispatch a Magna Guard armed with a Bulldog RLR. The greater reload time compared with other weapons, the slow-ish rate of fire and the inaccuracy of the Bulldog RLR, and the lack of guarantee that a successful shot would even injure a hostile, make the weapon a foolish choice if considering engaging in combat with any infantry. The aforementioned superiority of the weapon comes only in combat against hostiles who cannot return fire easily, or likewise are armed with weapons less efficient than the Bulldog RLR. For this reason, no single infantry class is armed solely with a Bulldog RLR or a similar weapon. It is notable that when the 501st legion assaulted the separatist factory on Mustafar, (A playable level in the game), the player is confronted with Gizor Delso, a Geonosian who is armed with a sonic blaster and with the Bulldog RLR.
