A_FireMissile is a code pointer used in the attack animation for the Rocket Launcher.
A_FireMissile spawns a rocket (object of type MT_ROCKET) moving in the direction that the player is currently facing. Autoaim is applied to determine the vertical angle to aim at. The rocket is spawned in the exact same X/Y location as the player; it passes out of the player since rockets pass through the player that fired them.
