Flashback

The M72 LAW is an American rocket-propelled anti-tank grenade that has been in service with the United States and other countries since 1963. The anti-tank grenade was developed to replace the U.S. Army's obsolete anti-tank weapons: the Great M31 anti-tank rifle and the M20A1 Super Bazoka hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher in the early 1950s. The M72 LAW is capable of hitting targets from 200 to 1,000 meters.

The M141 Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM) is a lightweight, disposable grenade launcher designed to damage fortified enemy structures. It is in service with many armies of the world since 1999. It was used in Afghanistan and Iraq.
