The M72 light antitank rocket launcher became popular during the Vietnam War, shooting, destroying tanks, armor and bunkers.

The Nammo M72 EC is disposable, easy to operate, extremely lightweight and powerful. The M72 EC is an Enhanced Capacity variant that may penetrate up to 450 mm RHA. The dual safe fuze and on-axis trigger equip the warfighter with an improved weapon system that is both safe and effective. The M72 EC LAW indeed has a higher penetration capability, as it is capable of penetrating up to 450 mm RHA (LAW Mk1) and 300 RHA (LAW Mk2). The M190 is their multiple-use training variant. The M72 EC LAW uses stabilized M73 solid-propellant rocket projectiles.

The Royal Thai Marine Corps is now starting to replace its Armbrust lightweight unguided anti-tank weapons with the 72 EC Mk1.
