A L.A.W.
Light Anti-tank Weapon

I qualified as 'Marksman' with that bad boy.... Had to shoot moving tanks at various distances.... It was a blast!!

A marksman.....a tank....isin't that like hitting the broadside of a barn?

Actually it's not! There are different sights for different distances as the rocket drops quite a bit as it flies. Then you have to lead the tank quite a bit and you have to hit it in a vital spot like a drive wheel or between the turret and the track. The rocket tip is really cool because it can penetrate through thick steel and when it gets inside it explodes (probably because it was just compressed going through the thick armor) and makes a real mess inside...

I was always nervous that as the rocket leaves the tube the flame out the back would burn my face off, but it doesn't. It's loud as heck though!

Everyone should have the opportunity to fire a LAW weapon... Maybe at the big Wagner picnic this spring we can get a few pallets of anti-tank weapons and have a good ol' time
