reason: bazookas are a specific type of rocket launcher.
Separate to this, should bazooka be aliased to rocket launcher because it is currently being used as an alternative term to it?

If bazooka is to be aliased (or implicated) to rocket_launcher, the bazooka tag would need to be cleaned up first. It seems that "bazooka" was/is being used for any large cylindrical weapon (like post #448044, post #398824, post #152991).
Yeah the Bazooka tag is being misused.
I've never seen it used, formally, for anything beyond the M-1 Bazooka.
I've used bazooka with respect to the Gundam series just because of the weapon names. e.g. post #464763 shows the "Zaku Bazooka", post #446137 shows the "Giant Bazooka", and post #456099 shows the RX-78-2 with the "Hyper Bazooka".
I'm not familiar with the Gundam series, or those rocket-launchers or beam weapons?
The Zaku, Giant, and Hyper Bazooka all fire shells. There is a "beam bazooka" (post #659088) but I think I only tagged the zaku bazookas in that post and not the beam bazookas.
Sorry for the necromancy, but I volunteer to clean up the bazooka tag. I made a new implication request recently in topic #16270.
