#4 Hard to see something like this in an anti tank role. Sure would mess up a tightly bunched convoy and clear out a house. In that application you could do with one rocket what used to take a dozen. Effective range of 200M? You problably do not want to be that close to it.

#8 Hey, Cheddarhead -- be nice and call them ChiComms :P

But yeah ... somehow I don't think Johnny Chung was a coincidence ... and possibly not even entirely a restricted-to-the-US affair ... National Review was more right than anyone would admit ...
