1 The Launcher Tube
2 Other weapons
3 Recoilless rifle or rocket
4 All those empty shells

[edit] The Launcher Tube

Is the launcher tube legal to possess once the rocket is expelled?

By civillians? I think not. I know that our tubes are classified as hazmat unless they are designated to be used as training aids (to which stickers must be applied so it can be identified as such). I imagine that it would be safer to not own something like this, especially if it is not readily identifiable as inert (much like how airsoft weapons must have the orange tip).

[edit] Other weapons

Is this a different weapon than the AT-4 Spigot? --Interiot 01:20, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Apparently, yes. The text at AT-4 clarifies. --Interiot 21:58, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recoilless rifle or rocket

Is it really a rocket? I was under the impression that is was shot out if the launcher and recieved no other thust after that. When you see it being fired it does not fly like an RPG, it goes so fast it looks like a projectile. The word "pansarskott" means 'armor shot'.

No it's not a rocket. It's basically a one-shot version of the Carl Gustav. Riddley 00:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

But I think it's capable of firing RPGs too. // Liftarn

It is not capable of firing RPGs. It is possible to reload a used launch tube with a new AT4 projectile, but it is not recomended.

s/not recommended/dangerous/. I'm told they go boom sooner or later. SOP is to kick off the sights and run over the shells (I'm told -- my training was just to kick off the sights, and that reloading was impossible, but I've learned otherwise). --Cuervo, not logged in again, 02:41, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] All those empty shells

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:AT-4_live-fire.jpg has a lot of empty shells flying around? Where are those coming from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.169.240.67 (talk) 13:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

The Marine to his left is possibly firing a weapon, although that is definitely alot to be in the air at one time.Gelston (talk) 00:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
