You ok, NO. I have thing blown up in my face all the time.
"WAR IS A RACKET, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the Bankers." Major-General Smedley Darlington Butler USMC Ret. 2 time Medal of Honor winner.
The AT-4 is not a good weapon, I saw one lying on a pallet waiting to be fired on a familiarization range, go off and send the rocket downrange without being touched. However, with the number of these things fired by the military during training, shit is bound to go wrong. If they could make everything as reliable and rugged as the m67 frag grenade, life would be good

It appeared to me that the motor exploded during ignition. I couldn't tell if the round went off down range. I don't know at what range the missle arms itself, (30 meters)?
(You have to look behind all of that outer space stuff)
LOL a guy I used to work with moved on to an engineer job designing carbon fiber tubes for rocket launchers, if that was one of the ones he helped build then it's no surprize it blew up, he was a few cans short of a six pack.

It was nice to see all the others rush over to see if this troop had any physical damage.
