The LAAW employs a 66mm rocket-propelled grenade which are available in a variety of warheads. The M72 light weapon can defeat light armored vehicles and is effective against brick and concrete wall. Main battle tanks (MBTs) can be engaged from top, side and rear angles of attack to impact where the armor thick is weaker.
