Show us your "Bazooka"
I need to make a "Bazooka" forum!
M65 Bazooka, Spanish Manufactured "Instalza", Overall Length: 70", 3-1/2" Tube, Aluminum, 2-pc. Take-down Construction
Original Optical and Bipod and Deactivated to BATF Specs
My Son!
[hr]
Instalza 88.9mm Rocket Launcher (Spain)
The 88.9mm rocket launcher is an antitank weapon that was designed to perform also as light artillery, firing antipersonnel rounds against unprotected troops. Featuring very little recoil, it can easily be used by one man and rapidly moved from point to point.
The system can utilize three different types of ammunition: the CHM-81L antitank rocket, the MB-66 antitank and antipersonnel rocket, and the FIM-66 smoke rocket. With the CHM-81L the system has a maximum range of 600meters (1,968 ft) against fixed targets and 450meters (1,476 ft) against moving targets; comparable ranges for the MB-66 round are 1,000 and 300 meters (3,280 and 984 ft), respectively.
Overall weight of this system is 6 kilograms (13.2 pounds). It includes a two-power opticle sight.
The Instalaza 88.9 mm M65 anti-tank rocket launcher is a Spanish-developed weapon with an electromagnetic firing mechanism and a sight unit fitted with an adjustable light source to illuminate the graticule for night sighting.
The electrical connection between the round and the launcher is established automatically during loading.
There are three types of ammunition available: CHM65 anti-tank, MB66 anti-personnel/anti-armour and FIM66 smoke/incendiary.
The launcher and its ammunition are produced by the same manufacturer.

Re: Show us your "Bazooka"
They were readily available 5 years or so ago. I think I paid $150 for it (or something like that).
Worth a lot more now.

I had a pic of the M72 I fired, but lost it years ago in a move. Wish I had a pic of the M202A1 we used in the barracks for a training tool. (The M202A1 is the 4-barrelled bazooka Rae Dawn Chong shoots {backwards!} in Commando.)

Re: Show us your "Bazooka"
There are several online sites that have bazooka's, mortars, RPG, etc that have been deactivated. My wife, yes my wife, who shoots and buys as many guns a year as I do bought herself a deactivated RPG with several deactivated training rockets. We are cursed to have several "Progressives" in our family who frown on our likes. She loves to post pictures of herself with these toys and send them to them.

Re: Show us your "Bazooka"
I'm surprised that is not at least one other bazooka on the forums.
Re: Show us your "Bazooka"
Don't have a bazooka but I do have a M72 A3 LAW launcher. I think we paid somewhere around $25.00 to $35.00 for sometime late last year! Need to get the front cover and sling assembly and a replacement front site for it. They break the plastic site for turn in due to radioactive stuff in it. Found a guy on e-bay that sells reproduction sites.

Re: Show us your "Bazooka"
We burnt a few of those up teaching infantry types how to set a hasty ambush with fougasse in a spent LAW tube. In basic you only get to fire the 'bottle rocket' simulators out of them, but I got to fire a live one in ROTC, 5 years before I enlisted. Quite a rush when you're 17!

I'm not surprised there are no posts! Especially since I know a bit of this and that of what is out there. End of dialect period! Bill
PS saw a dummy RPG launcher and rockets at last weeks flea market. Didn't ask price!

No bazooka here, but I could make one hell of a potato gun out of 3" pvc and my torch kit.
