'''Missile Launcher''' is a [[Primary]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}. When it attacks, it attacks the target twice, and it [[Armor Piercing|removes armor]] from the target before dealing damage. If the first attack reduces the target's health to 0 or lower, the target still takes the second attack before it pops, and it still triggers effects that activate upon dealing damage (such as [[Growth Gas Bloon]]s and [[Extractor Bloon]]s). The second attack cannot be interrupted by being [[stun]]ned after the first attack (e.g. targeting a [[Stun Gas Bloon]]). | '''Missile Launcher''' is a [[Primary]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|4.0}}.
