[ssorc2000]

@talkitiveBob What do I know about professionalism....?? About 13 years in the Queen's

Army!, that's what I know!

[talkitiveBob]

@ssorc2000 so you're telling me that during your 14 years, you and your boys never fucked around and were so tight that if I stuck a piece of coal up your arse, I'd have a diamond in a week?

[TATARSTAN59500]

look like same rpg-18 and rpg-22 

[killerNC17]

i noticed some red/orange camo in your BDUs? whats up with that :D

[talkitiveBob]

@killerNC17 test uniforms for afghainstan

[oSaloFIN]

"...The trigger pull was harder then I thought..."

Yeah the trigger pull is very hard, i was also suprised when I shot M72 LAW first time last week. :D

[Shtang3r]

This is Afganistan or USA?

[talkitiveBob]

@Shtang3r Afghanistan

[LuckySTARS90]

thanks for what you do bro. im getting ready to go navy

[beeferetown]

Laws are like bottle rockets these days.

[mikeknight4u]

I'd like to see more professionalism in the way you handle yourself while in uniform. Whether you like it or not, you are not giving the public a very good image of a professional soldier.

[killerNC17]

@mikeknight4u shut up liberal

[talkitiveBob]

@mikeknight4u when your a soldier deployed, garrison enviroment goes out the window and plus you have to find things to keep you entertained so you dont go insane

[ssorc2000]

Nice one, cos that's what this weapon was designed for..........shooting down slope at trees on a mountain and not to mention the unprofessional-ism that is the USA.

Oh and what a bellend!!

[talkitiveBob]

@ssorc2000 thats exactly what its designed for artard and what do you know about professionalism?

[nikemac84]

LOL, LOL>>>>>So this is what U.S. soldiers can do when they're bored......

[talkitiveBob]

@nikemac84 only the cool guys get to do this stuff

[MikkoG5]

Looked fun. I only got to test out the non-explosive rocket version in the Finnish Army. It looked a bit dangerous when you grabbed the LAW and the back pointed at the camera. Yea I know the safety was locked but the weapon was cocked already. We were told these things can go off when you pull the two halves of the tube while cocking it, so not so realiable always. But what fun is there without any risks, though? :)

[Azhang22]

how heavy is it?

[WAYtoomuchbacon]

i wish everything had instructions as easy as those

[shahin7474]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[spartena2]

There's gooks in the wire!!

[dogbone222]

Do we still carry old glory into battle... that'd but just too kick ass and patriotic

[wakeboardingzx]

hmm wonder where our tax dollars go?

[ppitm]

@wakeboardingzx We bought that thing when Johnson was president, fyi

[brinca1nareia]

should you be smoking next to live ordnance? ! :D

[talkitiveBob]

@brinca1nareia Yea, why not? Its not gonna do anything unless of course it was drenched in gasoline

[AKAtheA]

@talkitiveBob I strongly suggest you try lighting gasoline with a cigarette...even that won't happen...

[cockercane]

@talkitiveBob Naw, you need a spark or open flame to ignite gasoline. You're still fine.

[fartninja901]

lol! you are so awesome XD "bla bla bla bla bla bla bla" :D

[talkitiveBob]

@fartninja901 Honey badger don't care! lol

[AccessDenied55]

@talkitiveBob M72/LAW's are still in service?

I thought they only used the AT4?

[AKAtheA]

@AccessDenied55 was used in Iraq to bust gates/doors/walls etc... why waste an expensive AT4 made against modern tanks when a smaller(and lighter) LAW can bust a door as well? Also, disposing of it costs money, firing it doesn't ;-)

[gohanguy22]

my dad shot one of those

[azoreanblade2]

I've used one of these before, liked it. In appearance it looks heavy but when picking it up its light to carry around.

[Akira3C]

"INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!....Blah blah blah..bla blah." that should be in Battlefield 3.

[Gizord1]

I almost got a LAW tube at the last collectors show I went to, the guy offered me a deal of $150, only problem was I didnt have $150. It was in perfect condition too

[UH1Huey3113]

*beep* "I think it's a little low" *beep*

[exp1993]

thank you for ur service!

[talkitiveBob]

@exp1993 Thanks for the support man.

[Noskillah]

where are these mountains :D?

[deathmog1]

Hey, is he wearing the experimental UCP-D camo variant?

[talkitiveBob]

@deathmog1 Yes I am. We were testing those and the other units in my BCT were testing Multicam

[deathmog1]

@talkitiveBob

Sweet, always thought it looked cool. It's too bad it's real hard to find a set to buy. (For me at least)

[niltomega]

I wanna hang out with you dudes and fire off ammunition's for kicks. Where do i sign up without "signing up"???

[stubbostubbs]

With a firing technique like that, I`m surprised he even hit the mountain!

[talkitiveBob]

@stubbostubbs Thank you kind sir, thats me shooting!!! lol

[stubbostubbs]

@talkitiveBob If I rem rightly (and its been a LONG time since I fired one), the sights are optimistically ranged out to 300 but youre probably looking at 150-200 for a tank. Thank fk buildings dont move, theyre easier!

PS. Stop smoking

Cheers

2 Para 72-97

[talkitiveBob]

@stubbostubbs btw, smoking is what keeps me sane in the Army, lol

[gandinsk]

3 people read instructions before shooting a LAW

[xSuperAssassinx]

INSTRUCTIONS!! blah blah blah.... fuck it lets fire :D

[YoungGun243]

Beginning of video: MK.19 FOR THE WIN!

[CharlieDoan]

seem not powerful than RPG-7??? How can that single shot can take down a T-54/55 Soviet tanks??

[talkitiveBob]

@CharlieDoan Anti Tank rounds are basically to disable the tracks on the tank, which makes the tank not move any more. RPG-7 does the same thing but isn't as accurate. The LAW has been replaced by the more common known as the AT-4.

[cammander263]

@talkitiveBob wait i though if you sent it right up the behind of a t-54 and 55 dont forget the t-62 i thought if you hit it from the rear it kills the tank

[John234pwns]

@talkitiveBob The RPG has a longer range from the propulsion - I'd imagine it's more accurate when not thrown around by wind.

[Sessioni]

@CharlieDoan They use LAW:s also to blow up fox holes. Not very good AT weapon, good against trucks, cars, small assault vehicles.

[astrialkil]

@Sessioni probably perfect for against armored personal carriers !

[Sessioni]

@astrialkil well, what I've heard you need more than two of these little babies to cause serious damage to an APC. Depends where you hit.

[John234pwns]

@CharlieDoan The M72 LAW was actually a pretty miserable failure when fielded in Vietnam.

[gorgonzo1a]

@John234pwns really? kindly tell me all about ti

[John234pwns]

@gorgonzo1a Well with the LAW originally had a lot of ignition issues in the wet jungles of Vietnam, hence the improved gaskets with the M72A2 and such. A design specific flaw was that the water seal goes away after you open and close it once, as in you prepare it and don't fire.

But the bigger problem was that the original LAW had a penetration level of about 200mms against RHA (Rolled Homogenous Armor / Steel) , which was enough to toast some Soviet vehicles...

[John234pwns]

@gorgonzo1a But against some of the more upgraded designs and improvised armor they put out, it was really anemic. I hear it was a reason the super-bazookas was occasionally used.

[nixymagoo]

smoke much

[talkitiveBob]

@nixymagoo Everyday bro, everyday, lol

[Jericho999ful]

To je zábavka za peniaze daňových poplatníkov, nie?A potom že akí sú oni hrdinovia.

[MrBigBearBrown]

@talkativeBob why?

[MrBigBearBrown]

What are the "rules" on shooting stuff like this for fun?

[talkitiveBob]

@MrBigBearBrown I can't discuss that, sry bro

[Traffordsgoogle]

Was that the real deal or a practice round?

[talkitiveBob]

@Traffordsgoogle Yea that was the real deal, we did that on our OP in Afghanistan, we were bored

[Traffordsgoogle]

@talkitiveBob At $2,500 a pop, or whatever it costs, you didn't get much entertainment value for money. Would have been better off taking $2,500 to a titty bar ... but I'm guessing there weren't many of those around,



[talkitiveBob]

@Traffordsgoogle Another reason we shot it was b/c it was an older LAW and couldn't be collapsed like the newer versions, so it was also a safety hazard to those around us on the OP and also it wasn't on the books either so it was ok to fire.

[Traffordsgoogle]

@talkitiveBob Yeah I understand there are quite a few older ones in circulation, and they do have a use-by date.

[99cacahuate]

@Traffordsgoogle the mexican cartels have them....

[Traffordsgoogle]

@99cacahuate Good Lord that cannot be a good thing ... who makes them anyway?

[cavscoutout19]

wasn't worth posting (in my humble opinion)

[talkitiveBob]

@cavscoutout19 It was just some extra shit we had laying around, thats the first time I'd ever shot a LAW, usually we have the AT-4 but the LAW is easier to carry around the mountains on patrols.

[TheEvilAmerican]

@talkitiveBob What COP is this?

[WakingLife55]

Lol I'm putting this in my power point presentation for class tomorrow.

[DaHunter666]

LOL
