Is that what they mean by fire and forget? Just toss that tube out the window after use, lol.

These are 66mm LAW’s not grenade launcher lol
Fun fact: In Afghanistan, when discarding of the tube, we’d have to bend them so the Taliban couldn’t repurpose the tubes into a functioning mortar tube.

RIP these guys hearing. After firing countless SMAW leap rounds from inside buildings in Iraq my ear drums hurt just watching this.

Throwing the discarded tube in the direction of your target seems like a minor taunt and I kind of like it.

Serious question: Why does everybody who shoots one of these things, including American troops, always throw the empty launcher forward towards the enemy? Why not just drop it next to you or throw it behind you? Is the idea that it might burst into flame after firing and you want it far away from you?
