M72 LAW

The M72 LAW is a rocket launcher in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is featured in Gun Game, as the 17th Tier weapon. It can be used as free fire or lock-on vehicle to a vehicle, just like the AT4-HS in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Singleplayer
In singleplayer, the LAW is used to destroy three tanks during the mission SOG. It cannot lock onto the tanks.

Multiplayer
The M72 LAW is the only launcher unlocked as soon as Create-A-Class is unlocked. It is capable of both free fire and vehicle lock-on. However, it has a very small blast radius when free-fired making it difficult to use as an offensive weapon. Its very low ammo count of only 1 missile makes this worse. When used in conjunction with Scavenger pro, it can be more versatile than the Strela-3 or the RPG-7, as it is capable of both free-fire and lock-on fire, and will have two rockets, making it capable of destroying most vehicles, even the ones which are able to dodge rockets or deploy flares. However, Scavenger bags cannot replace M72 ammo. Its primary limiters are its small blast radius and long initial raise time, as the player must go through a "prepping" animation similar to that of the AT4-HS found in Modern Warfare 2.

Zombies
It is available in the Mystery Box and comes with 21 rockets. It is not a very good weapon to use though, as it creates crawlers and it has a very slow reload. The player should replace with weapon as soon as possible. When upgraded, it becomes the M72 Anarchy, featuring a 10 round "magazine" and firing semi automatically. The M72 Anarchy is much more effective than the un-upgraded version but it still should be passed over for better weapons. You will no longer automatically aim down the sights when firing the upgraded version, thus allowing a faster rate of fire.

Call of Duty: Black Ops (Nintendo DS)
The M72 LAW appears as one of the two launchers in the DS version of Call of Duty: Black Ops. The player must look through the sight in order for the weapon to fire. Unlike on the consoles, this weapon has multiple uses, having up to three rockets in reserve ammo.

Trivia

 * As seen in That's No Sandstorm localization strings, the M72 LAW was originally planned in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
 * The M72 LAW is conceptually similar to the AT4 launcher of the Modern Warfare series, as both are single-shot launchers designed to be disposed of after use and are even held the same way.
 * The Pack-a-Punched version, the "M72 Anarchy" refers to the opposite of the abbreviation (as opposed to the LAW)
 * The M72's name of LAW stands for Light Anti-Armor/Tank Weapon
