The LAW 80, formally the L1A1 94mm HEAT Rocket System, is a man-portable, disposable anti-tank weapon built by Hunting Engineering in the United Kingdom and adopted by the British Army in the early 1990s after production from 1986 to 1997. It fires a HEAT warhead from an extendable launch tube fitted with an integral spotting rifle and sight, capable of penetrating 650 to 700 millimeters of armor, but was withdrawn on safety grounds and replaced by the AT4 CS and FGM-148 Javelin.
