DeepFire have a new metal M72A2 version out that’s listed over at RedWolf (you can see it on their pages here). At the moment DeepFire‘s pages are loading very slowly so I’ll do my best to add as much here as possible. (NB: Please do note that the video and description are from a shop in HK and that the DeepFire LAW may not be legal to use or purchase in certain countries). The item is currently on pre-order however as you can see RedWolf have got hold of a functional production version so the full run can’t be that far away – although this video was shot in October of last year. Here’s the news from their pages:
Deep Fire M72A2 (Metal) (PRE-ORDER) Generally thought of as a weapon of the Vietnam War era, although has found a new lease of life in the ongoing operations in Iraq, with the U.S. Army and in Afghanistan by the Canadian Army. The low cost and relatively light weight make it ideal for the types of urban combat seen in these places. The M72 LAW was designed to replace the venerable bazooka as the primary anti-tank weapon after the Korean War. This portable one-shot 66mm anti-tank weapon was created by Talley Defense Systems, produced by Nammo Raufoss AS in Norway. The British Army used the Norwegian built version under the designation “Rocket 66mm HEAT L1A1, and is believed that the design of the Soviet RPG-18 is a direct copy.
The Deep Fire M72A2 uses any standard M203 gas BB shower shell. We tested it with Deep Fire’s own M203 shell, Madbull shells, Mosquito Molds, and King Arms shells. All worked great in this launcher. And of course that means you can use HFC134a gas, TOP GAS, Green Gas, Red Gas, or even CO2 in this launcher depending on what your shell takes. The shells are easily reloadable into the launcher through a center breech, accessible by opening the back of the launcher. The launcher collapses and extends just like the real thing with flip up sights.
Using BB shower shells, you can shoot just BBs, or you can just load up a fully charged shell and then plug foam rockets, nerf balls, water balloons, or pouches of baking flour into the smooth barrel to eject various fun objects. In the video below, we used a soft rubber NERF stress ball and a DEEP FIRE M203 shell charged with RED GAS. ***N.B. Doesn’t include shell in the package***
Length: (extended) 918mm Length: (closed) 655mm Caliber: 57mm Nerf Ball Capacity : 1 Product Brand Deepfire Product Code DF-M72A2MTL Weight 5,500 g Price (USD) $298.00 (RedWolf Airsoft)
The guys at RedWolf have also posted a video (well two actually there’s another here) of the replica working for you to drool over (if you’re a LAW fan that is):
