Good news is I've cleaned this animation up and I'm satisfied with it. Bad news is I still don't have a clue how the rocket launcher upgrade item will effect it.

I was thinking about a fire rate increase, a charge attack of some kind, I've also been suggested missiles with a slight homing effect, or missiles that scatter out little bombs.

But in the NES Metroid, you could shoot missiles pretty quickly at close range, and while I don't want to enforce a 1 missile on screen thing like the original did, I picture this weapon shooting pretty fast, and it's also going to be the player's best, most reliable means of damaging enemies seeing as I'm gonna have most monsters have a chance of dropping a missile ammo or two.
