“So he essentially had an empty tube.”

Yep. A fiberglass tube, basically. I have no idea where you would get such a thing. Part of the M72 training used to be that you were supposed to smash the tube once you used the rocket so that no one could use the tube as a mortar later.

When rocket launchers are outlawed only outlaws will have rocket launchers.

Make a bong out of it.

Make a moose gun.

Make your local police chief’s butts chaff.

So he essentially had an empty tube.

Yep, basically a plastic tube with less potential for being a weapon again than a length of PVC pipe.
