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 thing is too cool. Talk about your "home protection!" I am amazed at all of our military's weapons.
