You are absolutely DEAD WRONG- the yellow band denotes HE, the training AT4 tube has a blue band. I know from EXPERIENCE, Blue in Ordnance denotes “ Training”, Yellow HE ( loaded with energetic material).

Speaking of DEAD WRONG, Read the manual.

Color-Coding. M136 AT4 launchers are marked with color-coded bands (Figure 3-5). A black with yellow band indicates an HE antiarmor round (early models had a solid black band). A gold or yellow band indicates a field handling trainer; no band indicates an M287 9-mm tracer bullet trainer

Check again, the color coding you sight is current color coding. Older are color coded “yellow band for HE, TM 3-23.25 15 September 2010.”

It is highly unlikely we gave the Ukies newer manufactured stock, they are getting our older stocks, and NATO stocks.

Fact is it matters not when they will be used against us on our soil.
