blu97,
Are you sure about them? The one on the left has what appears to be a rotating band around it as does the one on the right. I thought both (3.5" also) were smooth bore weapons and so were there sub cals too? I had at one time the sub cal for the LAW once and the insert was also smooth bore and the heads were completely different as was the method of firing them Either electric impulse for the 3.5" and a rear percussion tube that runs back up to the rear of the actual tube (LAW) and is fired by a firing pin on a cap at the upper end that sends an immediate flash thru the tube to ignite the rocket. Or something of the sort. I do not have my TM on the LAW in fromnt of me at the moment.
