The M72A7 is a lightweight, shoulder-launched, disposable munition meant to defeat lightly armored vehicles and other hard targets at close ranges. It fires a 66mm high-explosive, anti-tank rocket. With a weight of approximately 8 pounds and a length of about 30 inches, it allows rapid engagement of stationary and moving targets to a maximum range of 350 meters, according to Gary Barber, team leader and project officer for Shoulder-Launched Munitions at Picatinny.
