These empty tubes after weapon is fired are not worth $2K, heck in the 70's they didn't sell at gun shows at $50. Don't know how they mysteriously increased in value/price. The weapon was not a tank buster and if you have doubts on that fact, look at the history of Lang Vei Special Forces Camp in RVN, during Tet 68 where it was over run by light Soviet PT 76 amphib tanks driven by NVA.
In RVN , the LAW was notorious for Duds. The climate of Viet Nam toxic to its fireable trustworthiness. My platoon sergeant was waving his finger at me about this but I maintained I could take care of it , keep it dry and keep it from being dented , we might need it against bunkers of NVA at some point in time. Wrapped in up in a poncho and strapped to my ruck sack, I humped that sucker for over 4 months and then , yes we did, we blundered (at the time called search & destroy) into a bunker complex and in the following chaos , I got that LAW out and shot it at a bunker firing at us and CLICK. ReCock and CLICK. I am sure the reason I was not shot that day was the NVA were laughing at the fool trying to make a LAW work.
Ones attitude and opinions are shaped by one's experiences in life. The LAW is a POS. ... Just saying
