mscott Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 My first thought is that maybe the tube got cracked somehow. That had to suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 there really isnt a barrel for a squib. The AT4 isnt loaded, Think of it as putting a set of sights and a simple firing device on the brass case of a bullet. It also isnt guided like the video stated. Any way something definetly went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMITH Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 They have a propellant charge that kicks the rocket out of the barrel about 25-30 feet, then the rocket motor lights and it propels it downrange. The ejection charge lit but for some reason the rocket didn't clear the tube, and it ripped the launcher right out of the guys hands. Thankfully the rocket didn't light....
