A man-portable MLRS   I wonder what it fires? Those look like steel pipes not unlike those sold in the hardware store. I wonder how they rigged this sucker to shoot whatever it is. Probably RPG-7 rockets? From the trigger it looks like they can fire off all four at once. All they have to do is pop out from a corner, hit the trigger, and vanish. It's definitely a threat to IFVs, APCs, and dare I say even an M1. Humvees don't really stand a chance against 1 RPG, let alone 4! |

Those look like US troops to me, but I guess they could have captured the thing... |

I figured that out halfway through my post (stupid me), but I went ahead and hit 'submit' anyway. |

Hell all it probably takes to fire whatever they fire is a 9V battery. LOL They went to Home Depot - Baghdad, bought the crap and built it LOL!!! Then went to France Int'l Arms Store - Baghdad and got the rockets. |
