You can hear the guy's who fired it go "Holy Shit!" http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=-689902620988043628 "Once we got to the point where twenty/something's needed a place on the corner that changed the oil in their cars we were doomed . . ." -NickDG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I especially like the guy going "Did ya see how high the turret went?" just as a massive piece of metal thuds back into the dirt several seconds after the explosion!Do you want to have an ideagasm?

GQ_jumper 4 #7 January 16, 2007 Javelin's rock, IMO the best man-portable anti-tank weapon in the world, we had a team trying to hold a pass near Debeka during the invasion, they had two unarmored humvees and a handful of Jav's and managed to hold off and entire company of Iraqi tanks, from what I understand without even using the thermal capabilities they made 12 of 14 Jav shots, not too shabby, 10 guys on foot vs. a company of tanksHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

GQ_jumper 4 #10 February 3, 2007 I want one to mount on my truck for the morning commuteQuote Actually if you are dealing with heavy traffic I wouldn't reccomenda Javelin, it takes a bit to reload after every shot and you have to have a lot of different tubes if there's a lot of traffic. Go with an RPG, fast reloads and you can carry more ammoHistory does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

Heck, I'd rather shoot bottles and cans with that over a BB gun Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Although we eventually opted for Javelin, the Israeli system was apparantly much better. Wonder why we never bought that system then! 'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'
