Military
Since the late 1950s when it was developed at the US Army Redstone Arsenal, the M72 LAW (Light Anti-Tank or Anti-Armor weapon) has ably served forces as a portable one-shot 66mm unguided rocket anti-tank weapon.
Another advancement from InVeris: Reliable Wireless Training for a Trusted Weapon. The weapon’s simplicity and portability continue to commend it to military combat units. Our latest BlueFire® wireless weapon matches the simplicity and portability of the live weapon.
The M72A7 LAW is a lightweight, self-contained, anti-armor weapon that consists of a rocket packed in a launcher. Man-portable, it fires from either shoulder with almost no recoil. Issued as a round of ammunition, it requires only a visual inspection and some operator maintenance. The launcher, which consists of two telescopic tube, serves as a watertight packing container for the rocket and houses a percussion-type firing mechanism that activates the rocket; a fin-stabilized, fixed-shaped charge round.
To fire, the soldier removes the tube covers, extends the weapon (if collapsed for carrying), elevates the sights, and cocks the arming switch.
The M72A7 simulator is based on an expended tube from a live weapon. While a live weapon is issued as single ammunition, the BlueFire M72A7 allows repeated training with the same platform. Everything about the M72A7 reinforces economy-conscious thinking without neglecting the firepower mission.
