Looking again in some places like Kommiefornia* those fiberglass tubes are as illegal as the anti-aircraft missiles they once held.


* yes I know I deliberatly slured the name of california but I don't have any really good feelings for a place that voted in Moonbeam brown twice.

Hey, I live in California and don't have many good things to say about the state government, so you aren't alone, my friend.

I was born and raised in California. I moved up to Oregon a little more than a year ago. I'm loving it up here as it's like California when I was a kid, there's so much more freedom to do what you want up here.

From what I've read you actually cannot use a LAW/AT4 more than once because the tube cannot handle the stress of more than one shot. Also I've never heard of the practice of reloading used tubes either.

So it's even more useless then spent brass.

I have heard of people reloading the tubes on a LAW rocket. It's extremly rare as it's dangerous and not worth the effort in most cases. As you said the launchers are intended to be one shot and toss.
