What is the back blast specification for the M72 LAW?

• A. 60m/60 degree
• B. 100m/90 degree
• C. 40m/30 degree
• D. 50m/45 degree

Answer: (C)

Back blast is the dangerous rearward plume and debris created when the launcher fires. For the M72 LAW, the safe operating window behind the weapon is defined as 40 meters and a cone of 30 degrees. That means anyone behind and within that 30-degree sector could be hit by the back blast, so the area behind the shooter must be clear to at least 40 meters. This is why the correct specification is 40 meters with a 30-degree angle. The other options propose larger distances or wider angles, which don’t match the weapon’s official back blast limits.
