Chrissyg Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Its a LAW 88mm-light anti armour weapon. And a link is here: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/?filnavn=/p.../at4_custom.htm its not exactly a LAW but its an AT4 rocket launcher. Hope this helps! Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 You'll want nbb internals and some kind of light to activate the 5 tracers of the spotting rounds. Ive used the training version but unfortunaetly don't have pictures mate. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites
El_Boomo Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 BTW thats not the same one as in the link he posted his one was 94mm not 88mm Its a LAW 88mm-light anti armour weapon. And a link is here: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/?filnavn=/p.../at4_custom.htm its not exactly a LAW but its an AT4 rocket launcher. Hope this helps! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissyg Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I think the gun is called an LAW-80, i'm not sure coz i've heard people refer to it as the LAW-88 so i'll put a link to a picture of it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, its the LAW 88 I think you will find El Boomo. I wasnt talking about the link. Yeah, what speed says below! Tis illegal in England Link to post Share on other sites
Spedz Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Btw the way the review cannot be done here he uses a deact which is illegal for england Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Technically a one shot LAW of any description is not a deactivated weapon as it cannot be deactivated (due to it being safe in it's present form.) Therefore putting a moscart in it would not be "reactivation" and thus would be legal. Anyhow.... speak to SWIFT_VENGENCE he's a squaddy in the anti-tank platoon of his regiment. He'll know how to use one for sure, and hopefully have some good training manual diagrams. Link to post Share on other sites
votkov Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 hey guys, thanks for the help, I did forget to mention though, I was planning on scratch building it, not using a spent tube, so in that why I cant see any legal complications as long as i stick within the uk limits for the power, and also as long as this crappy new law does not get the complee go ahead Link to post Share on other sites

VC - I think your input may be useful.... Edit: so votkov is scratch building and should be ok, but just in case anybody else is thinking on the same lines.... Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 In that case i will not do anything that risks anyones freedom. But R22 has a moscart firing LAW which he made from a spent tube, so surely he must know? Link to post Share on other sites
El_Boomo Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 but he was asking about the one in the link. which is not a LAW-88 i don't think spend LAW launchers are all that illegal seeings as one of the guys i sometimes airsoft with has 3 of them he got when he left the army. I don't think they'd give him illegal things to take away from the army now do you? No, its the LAW 88 I think you will find El Boomo. I wasnt talking about the link. Yeah, what speed says below! Tis illegal in England <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Law 88's have a spotting rifle, so it's techncally a deactivated gun. A law 66 is just a spent tube, but it is still slightly dodgy ground. Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think the thing in the project section where the guy made a nerf-firing RPG from an old AT-4 tube has all you need to know. As in, the warning at the top. I quote: "This project was built in the USA where such pneumatic rebuild constructions are perfectly legal. The intention of this project was to project a foam marker safely for wargame simulation purposes. No other purpose or intention should be construed or implied. This project is posted here for information and entertainment purposes only. United Kingdom residents should note that it is against the law to attempt to reactive spent munitions tubes (such as used AT4s) for any purpose." so the general feeling is No, not a chance. try it and get hauled to jail. Maybe. But check with your local police; if they don't know (and they probably don't, not off the top of their heads) then they can at least put you in contact with someone who does know. OR just look it up for you Link to post Share on other sites

As ghost rider quite rightly said, there is a (7.62mm i think) spotting rifle mounted on the bottom of a 94mm LAW. Although they can't be reloaded (not simply anyway), I wonder how many in circulation are properly deactivated.... Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 But hes custom building i thought? So does it really matter? It'll be drain pipes and fairy liquid bottles etc.. Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 The thing is, it's one of the gray areas this sport has in spades. An M72 law is basically a big spent cartridge. Dear Mr Wong Please accept my apologies for the delay in replying to your unusual e-mail query, shown below. As the M-72 Light Anti Tank Weapon (Law 66) is a plastic disposable item that can only be once, if it is used/spent then it can be held without need for any type of certificate and does not require any form of deactivation. Yours sincerely Sonja Gutteridge Firearms Licensing Officer Ergo, it is not a weapon that required de-activation. Thus, putting a moscart in it is not "re-activating" it, as it was never "de-activated" in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Thats what i thought to be honest. Will (R22) is doing it- he wouldn't put himself in danger of the law etc. Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 theres a web site out there somewhere [i know someone posted it in one of these here forums] of a place where you can buy pre-built launchers..link anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie182 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 The law 80 has a 8 round (IIRC) 9mm spotting rifle built in, so as said above that may well be dodgy ground. But the '66 is just a spent casing as ghost said, so it should be perfectly legal. I used to own a spent '66 tube, and had it hung on the wall of my room, and no one ever said a thing so they are certainly fine to own at least. Link to post Share on other sites
