[makaveli91]

I was wondering if anyone happens to know the weapons drill for the M72.  Its been a while, and I need a quick refresher.  I know its simple, but it seems too simple.

-Pick it up and do safety precaution
-command prep for fire: Remove pin, take off cover, extend tube, place in shoulder (firing position), pull safety pin to the ARM position
-command fire: depress trigger and fire

Misfire (weapon does not fire):
-hold aim for 10 sec
-make sure safety handle is out all the way (ARMED)
-(after the 10 sec) attempt to fire again (weapon still doesn't not fire)
- maintain aim for one min
- attempt to return to safe
- collapse tube 12cm
-re-extend tube (prime it again)
- place in shoulder
- ARM
-attempt to fire again (still no fire)
-wait one min
-attempt to put on safe
- carry to flank (50m) to be destroyed

Try not to express surprise when half way through the Misfire sequence and the launcher is off your shoulder the missile launches.
