If a weapon comes in contact with the rocket will it explode or does the rocket take a certain amount of hits?
Question about the rockets fired from a rocket puppy.

You cannot destroy the rocket wiht your weapon. Dunno what game you're playing.

Even if you managed to defy logic and destroy it with a sword, the explosion would still reach you anyways.

Explosion range
Explosive blocks have a different range compared to rockets? It turns out that you can hit an explosive block with a sword at the farthest range of contact and still not take damage. And no, this does not incluse projectile swords.

Bombs can destroy the
Bombs can destroy the rockets. Did that the other day. Using Nitro was great, shut down the Rocket puppy in T3 completely, because every rocket just went BOOM along with my nitro. I've never tried it with guns, I'd suggest doing some T1 runs and seeing if they can be targeted like flying howlitzer heads can.
I'm betting swords would be suicide. The rocket is moving, remember....

most likely
gun bullets need to explode (reach max range or hit other objects) to damage.

Bombs can stop it or you can
Bombs can stop it or you can throw a vial at it.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
I'm pretty sure that the rockets can't be destroyed. Aquajag, you may have been making the rocket puppy flinch, keeping it from firing any shots. This is a very viable tactic with bombs, BTW.
Howlitzer heads, on the other hand, can be destroyed. Surprisingly, these heads lack shadow resistance or elemental weakness altogether, so...
EDIT: Vials can destroy them. But, keep in mind that vials can get rid of pretty much any bullet, so it's not a special case or anything. :P

@Autofire
I've heard of vials hitting switches and vial sniping, but not vials getting rid of bullets.

Rockets can in fact be destroyed with bombs.
I know because I've done it countless times. I've run arenas filled with rocket puppies wielding nothing but a nitronome, so I'm pretty darned sure it's true.

You can destroy the rocket with your weapon, I don't know what game you're playing.
Here's me doing it with a Nitronome.
I also often destroy rockets with with my Triglav without taking damage.
The only thing is that projectiles other than vials won't hit them. If you want to destroy a rocket with your gun, you need to do it in the same was as bushes.

It's possible according to the wiki
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Gun_Puppy
At the bottom under "Strategy" > Rocket Puppy
"with good timing, hit the Rocket's warhead (while standing one square away from it) with a sword strike, preferably after having just been fired as it stops for a moment before homing in on you, to detonate it prematurely without causing damage to you; doing this essentially renders the Puppy harmless, which can prove useful in distracting the Puppy at the Charred Court or going in for the kill, as it takes a moment before priming another Rocket."

Maybe with an avenger's wide arc?. Combuster keeps exploding on my face.

I've shot a rocket with a charged gun shot (it was one of those Blaster-type shots. This was on my other character) and didn't see any damage numbers nor did the rocket explode. This was in t1 so dunno if it can even be reliable later on because homing rockets twitch even when going "straight".
