I was thinking. What does more damage in the long run : a rocket launcher or a launcher pistol. I was thinkin the launcher pistol because i have one that does up to 280 damage with 2.5 speed. And the rocket launcher is so slow and consumable.
Also why dont commandoes use the Heavy Particle Beam. It has more speed than rockets and does the same damage with the same AP.
Just some questions

To answer, I'd say the LP is better on everything but heavily armored targets with low blast resistance (like the new Tuskens.) Anything vulnerable to blast the LP (with master pistoleer anyways) will be better than the RL.
Now, as to HPBC's, I dunno, why you'd think nobody uses them, there personally my bread and butter HSW. I only use rocket launchers on targets that are all but immune to energy damage (or targets that are really, really tough, since RL's ten to have better max damage.)

HPBC's are my favorite heavy weapon. ( flame is a "special" hvy wep 
)
)They are fast, and just and punishing to the enemy as a rocket, and has the lamest sound int he game! Oorah!
No seriously i love those things. Ive goten a smuggler to double slice one once and my god it realy ruined one guys day.. ( A poor un-suspecting CM )

Heavy rocket launchers seem bugged, I shot one at a rancor near its lair and i nuked the lair on 50k health and did about 2k damage to the rancor.

Launcher pistol + last ditch + good pistol speed = dead turrets in no time...

i say the launcher pistol in a long run but you have to spend a few skillpoints into it
go up the smugler line and get last dich (has long delay) but with it you can esly do 3-4k dam in one shot (if got a good one ) to a atst and if your laying prone you get 3 free shots off befor it even attacksyouthenafter it argos you you can play run around corner and LOS crap
were max i could ever get of with a RL is 2 shots then your prity much ded seeing you cant realy run around a corner and pop back out and shoot agen with out geting neild
and not any were near expansive as useing a RL
