-—fired from inside a room——thanx for clarifying a set of design standards. I’m working on it. At the moment I’m still for firing from outside the room. Sticking ones nose into a crowded room can be hazarazadus.

I can't imagine anyone dumb enough to fire a LAW from inside an enclosed space/ It's a rocket and its motor burn is instantaneous (the tube is short, so the motor has to give all of its impulse in microseconds because the motor has to complete its burn before it emerges from the tube). The exhaust is powerful and has the force of a grenade - nobody should be behind you even outdoors.

The warhead fuze arms about 25 meters in front of you because you don't want it to detonate near you, for obvious reasons.

We did have a bad lot of LAWs in our training before going overseas and they would occasionally detonate when the firer pressed the firing button. Not a morale enhancer.
