You know the footage that Fox has been running of GI'S taking the airport.....they usually show it before a break. You see a guy kneel down beside a bridge with some sort of rocket launcher......Don't know for sure what it is....but
I want one.

That is a hand-held rocket launcher - usually used against tanks, but it blows up buildings and reinforced bunkers real good. Not a LAW - Bazooka-type 3" rocket, but larger.) Will look up the number. Figure couple hundred feet "real" range in close quarters. Few thousand feet in open country against stationary targets with clear field of fire.

CNN showed a long tape of one "not firing" - getting replaced, then succeeding. Typical CNN - Gotta show the equipment failing, right?

That's our newfangled Anti-Tank missile. Very impressive system.
