LAW

"A portable light anti-tank weapon with unrivaled explosive power. Usable against infantry and for clearing out enemy camps with a single strike."

- The Arsenal

The M72 LAW (Light Anti-Tank Weapon) is a light Explosive Projectile weapon that has been available in Combat Arms since the beginning. It cannot be fitted with any attachments, and it has one known variant, the Autumn LAW.

Overview
The LAW is equipped with 3 explosive rockets, which can be fired from any distance at any time. Unfortunately, a hit from a rocket cannot kill a player with full health, even with a direct shot. Depending on where the rocket hits and/or where the player is located, the rocket can do a maximum of 80 HP damage (an additional 15 due to splash damage) on Medium and Heavy Vest players. Knowing that, players should always carry backup weapons in case the enemy is still alive.

It is not ideal (unless you don't care) to use the LAW at close range, for the blast radius can damage or kill you, too.

The rocket explodes upon contact, allowing you to hurt/kill multiple enemies around the rocket's blast radius (a good example of this characteristic is the Lawgiver). The LAW is best used for moderate range or crowd control combat. It is also good for flushing out or killing holed up players. (ex. It can be fired into the lighthouse/tower to kill or damage the sniper inside.)

When using a LAW, it's best not to aim directly at a player. Most of the time the slow moving rocket will miss the person, or it will simply be shot down. Aim for a nearby wall or the ground beneath the enemy instead.

Because of several complaints of low-ranking players taking advantage of such an easy weapon to use, the game is modified to only allow players that are Corporals or above to purchase it. Even so, many low-ranked players use it constantly. Due to the massive overuse, this weapon is known by many players as the "Noob Tube". This is due to the blast radius caused upon explosion.

The LAW is also very effective in Quarantine, as it can be used to take out the Infected from far away.

It costs 800 GP per day to purchase the LAW.



Trivia

 * The M72 LAW is equipped with a sight that is noticeable ingame. However, it cannot be used.
 * In reality, certain models, such as the A2 and A3 models only weighs 2.5 kilograms which is around the weight of an Assault Rifle.
 * In reality the LAW is a disposable anti-tank rocket launcher, and so it's not actually reloadable.
 * Despite being an anti-tank weapon, it cannot harm the tank in Desert Thunder, nor can the RPG-7 or the Autumn LAW.
