Concerning the M202 found it interesting that the launcher could also fire an HE package. Also saw some that said the AT rocket as well. Read a lot of USMC blogs from flamethrower operators that they preferred the M202/A1/A2 because of it's range and relative accuracy. There were reported draw backs such as "drops" when reloading (NOT GOOD) and as the rockets got older, a fuel leakage issue down on the back of the operator, I suspect fuel-rocket motor ignition exhaust again-NOT GOOD! I think the dates are fine as well also.

Outta here!!

Regards,
Pat
