Crap..I gave my grandkids a expended LAW tube a few years back.That must make me an arms dealer. Yes they are dangerous my 6yo grandchild hit his 4yo brother over the head with it that took a couple stitches to fix.
And the 66mm shaped charge round for the LAW and the LAAW was not the only 66 mm rocket propelled round in the inventory. The Marine Corps had a 4 barreled launcher for 66 mm incendiary rockets. And there was a 6 or 8 barreled launcher for 66 mm tear gas rockets for riot control. I could not say how interchangeable these different munitions were, but I suspect they could be adapted.
I do not know if the AT4 can be reloaded; that came after my time.
On the other claw, if one has a source for 66 mm rocket propelled missiles, what is the point of reloading old M72 tubes? The shaped charged anti-tank rounds come in their launch tubes. The napalm loaded incendiary rounds are no longer used, and so not available, like all the other napalm munitions. The tear gas rounds were low velocity, short range weapons. And if one is making one’s own rockets, it would be no problem to make one’s own launchers.
I suspect that the LAPD chief is just pissed because while rocket launchers are poor anti-personnel weapons, they would neutralize police SWAT armored vehicles.
