When Dad used to sail his boat in the Caribbean, he kept a spent LAW on board, just in case someone decided they wanted HIS boat. (I do NOT know where he got it. I do not WANT to know!)

I LOVED firing those things at tanks during training ops back in the day. They blowed up REAL GOOD. :)

I used to see LAW tubes at gun shows. They are not reloadable.

The weapon was seized by the NYPD from a home on Knickerbocker Avenue in the Bushwick section.

Damn, that's near where I was born. Of course, at that time, "The Honeymooners" was being broadcast live on DuMont...

I know the neighborhood well. In the 70s when I taught there it was a pit of guns, drugs and gangs. Lately it’s been gentrified by hipsters spilling over from Williamsburg. Maybe this guy was trying to frighten the incoming hipsters into leaving. I know lots of locals who survived the pre Giuliani days have not been pleased by the rising rents, and influx of coffee shops and eateries at the expense of bodegas and other establishments that served the old community.

another one of these... it’s a spent, empty and disposable tube... probably an AT4, they seem to pop up once in a while. You might be able to make a potato cannon out of it if you were inventive enough. the airsoft version is probably more dangerous.

For sale at gun shows for many years. LAWS tubes are just that - tubes. Demil, dewat, inert, whatever you want to call them - ain’t gonna fire.

I don’t think the Empty spent LAW tube is what got him in trouble. It was the high capacity assault clips.
