Well, a scud style launcher would be a cool vehicle to build and use
with model rocket, but as a proof of concept/demo vehicle, not for
actual battle.
Imagine driving your Scud launcher out onto the battle field, the
erector moving into launch position and a rocket firing straight up,
signaling the start of a battle, or even as part of a scenario of defend
the scud, and the rocket fires after a set time or when it reaches a set
position and fires....
Bit like find the general??

The National Association of Rocketry's Model Rocket Safety Code (see
http://www.nar.org/NARmrsc.html ) requires rockets to be lauched within
30 degrees of vertical.  If you ever seen these things go off, it makes
sense - near horizontal you could really hurt someone (or worse).
Paintballs at up to 10 degrees above horizontal is a sensible safety
rule.
