Default Re: Javelin ATGM

Collecting weapons manufacturer's promotional materials is useful for "what-if?" scenarios, (and the occasional expense-account lunch). Whilst I indulge in both of these, reality has to intrude on 'hype'.

I agree with the 'theoretical' range for Javelin, but the actual operational range is given as 2000m in the document linked below:

[FM 3-22.37]

(Intended to instruct the 'PBI' on how to use the Javelin!)
