Name that Weapon
 

I don't know what kind of missile this is, so I'm turning to the pro's for input.

Can anyone identify this missile (or is it a rocket like the LAW or SMAW)?

Javelin?

Looks like it, but the end caps are wrong, and there's only that one bulge... there's nothing in the front or back of it like on the Javelin.

man... was guessing.

I was a Dragon - pop pop pop - gunner in 1989, haven't touched a missle since. how should I know WTF that is? :confused:

Milan

Milan has a hard plastic handle and end caps are different.

Milan 3

Looks like an AT-4 or an AT-7 to me. Without the mounts.

The yellow markings just caught my eye, as in this Milan.

Are that type of markings also used in the old Soviet Bloc AT-missiles?

Not sure, I can only find photos from good, socialist made cameras.

I have to agree with Tuukka on this one, the handle looks like it just straps on, entirely possible that the hard plastic one was replaced with a flexible one like in the pic. Also, the ends look pretty similar, the difference could be just in the covers. Also, Tons of folks use Milans, I would imagine they are license built in more than one place. That would account for subtle differences in styling.

Just my opinion, YMMV

Good times,
