The first to be used (with varying successes) were <a href="/wiki/Molotov_cocktail" title="Molotov cocktail">Molotov cocktails</a>, <a href="/wiki/Flamethrower" title="Flamethrower">flamethrowers</a>, <a href="/wiki/Satchel_charges" class="mw-redirect" title="Satchel charges">satchel charges</a>, jury-rigged <a href="/wiki/Landmines" class="mw-redirect" title="Landmines">landmines</a>, and specially designed magnetic hollow charges. All of these had to be used within a few meters of the target, which was difficult and dangerous. </p><p>The U.S. Army introduced the <a href="/wiki/Bazooka" title="Bazooka">bazooka</a>, the first rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Despite early problems, it was a success and was copied by other countries. </p><p>However, the bazooka had its drawbacks. Large and easily damaged, it required a well-trained two-man crew. Germany developed a one-man alternative, the <a href="/wiki/Panzerfaust" title="Panzerfaust">Panzerfaust</a>, having single-shot launchers that were cheap and requiring no special training. As a result, they were regularly issued to <i><a href="/wiki/Volkssturm" title="Volkssturm">Volkssturm</a></i> home guard regiments. They were very efficient against tanks during the last days of World War II. </p><p>The M72 LAW is a combination of the two World War II weapons. The basic principle is a miniaturized bazooka, while its light weight and cheapness rival the Panzerfaust. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development_and_production">Development and production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=M72_LAW&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Development and production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Solid_rocket" class="mw-redirect" title="Solid rocket">solid rocket</a> propulsion unit was developed in the newly formed <a href="/wiki/Rohm_and_Haas" title="Rohm and Haas">Rohm and Haas</a> research laboratory at <a href="/wiki/Redstone_Arsenal" title="Redstone Arsenal">Redstone Arsenal</a> in 1959,<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the full system was designed by Paul V.

While closed, the outer assembly serves as a watertight container for the rocket and the percussion-cap firing mechanism that activates the rocket. The outer tube contains the trigger, the arming handle, front and rear sights, and the rear cover. The inner tube contains the channel assembly, which houses the firing pin assembly, including the <a href="/wiki/Detent" title="Detent">detent</a> lever. When extended, the inner tube telescopes outward toward the rear, guided by the channel assembly, which rides in an alignment slot in the outer tube's trigger housing assembly. This causes the detent lever to move under the trigger assembly in the outer tube, both locking the inner tube in the extended position and cocking the weapon. Once armed, the weapon is no longer watertight, even if the launcher is collapsed into its original configuration. It is a <a href="/wiki/Line_of_sight_(missile)" title="Line of sight (missile)">line of sight weapon</a> with a range around 200 meters (660 ft).<sup id="cite_ref-modeq_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-modeq-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Law_ftbenning_1960_04.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/Law_ftbenning_1960_04.jpg/170px-Law_ftbenning_1960_04.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="223" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/Law_ftbenning_1960_04.jpg/255px-Law_ftbenning_1960_04.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/Law_ftbenning_1960_04.jpg/340px-Law_ftbenning_1960_04.jpg 2x" data-file-width="537" data-file-height="704" /></a><figcaption>M72 demonstration at Fort Benning, Georgia, in the 1960s</figcaption></figure> <p>When fired, the striker in the rear tube impacts a primer, which ignites a small amount of powder that "flashes" down a tube to the rear of the rocket and ignites the propellant in the rocket motor. The rocket motor burns completely before leaving the mouth of the launcher, producing a <a href="/wiki/Backblast_area" title="Backblast area">backblast</a> of gases around 1,400 °F (760 °C). The rocket propels the 66 mm (2.6 in) warhead forward without significant recoil. As the warhead emerges from the launcher, six fins spring out from the base of the rocket tube, stabilizing the warhead's flight. The early LAW warhead, developed from the <a href="/wiki/M31_HEAT_rifle_grenade" title="M31 HEAT rifle grenade">M31 HEAT rifle grenade</a> warhead, uses a simple <a href="/wiki/Piezoelectric" class="mw-redirect" title="Piezoelectric">piezoelectric</a> fuze system. On impact with the target, the front of the nose section is crushed, causing a microsecond electric current to be generated, which detonates a booster charge located in the base of the warhead, which sets off the main warhead charge. The force of the main charge forces the copper liner into a directional particle jet that, in relation to the size of the warhead, is capable of a massive penetration. </p><p>A unique mechanical set-back safety on the base of the detonator grounds the circuit until the missile has accelerated out of the tube. The acceleration causes the three disks in the safety mechanism to rotate 90° in succession, ungrounding the circuit; the circuit from the nose to the base of the detonator is then completed when the piezoelectric crystal is crushed on impact. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:M72A2_LAW_1969.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/M72A2_LAW_1969.jpg/220px-M72A2_LAW_1969.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/M72A2_LAW_1969.jpg/330px-M72A2_LAW_1969.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/M72A2_LAW_1969.jpg/440px-M72A2_LAW_1969.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1617" data-file-height="1165" /></a><figcaption>Packing crates are used to demonstrate the danger of the M72's back blast</figcaption></figure> <p>The weapon can be fired from inside buildings as long as the structures are at least 3.7 by 4.6 m (12 by 15 ft) in size, which is about 50 cubic meters (1,800 cu ft) in volume, and have sufficient ventilation.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Department_of_the_Army" title="United States Department of the Army">Department of the Army</a> previously rated the weapon as safe to fire from enclosure, but this rating was removed in 2010 after the introduction of the safer <a href="/wiki/AT4_CS" class="mw-redirect" title="AT4 CS">AT4 CS</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, some modern variants of the LAW are specifically designed with fire-from-enclosure (FFE) capability.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In late 2021, Nammo unveiled the concept of a multi-<a href="/wiki/Helicopter_rotor" title="Helicopter rotor">rotor</a> <a href="/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle" title="Unmanned aerial vehicle">unmanned aerial vehicle</a> (UAV) equipped with a LAW.
