Just what materials are the casings of the Light Anti-Weapon the US uses made of? Is it metal or plastic, does it bend easily, is it brittle? In short, could a LAW casing be used as an improptu melee weapon, or would this be unfeasible?

The launcher is composed of two telescoping tubes. The outer one is made of fiberglass; the inner one is aluminum. Altogether, the launcher weighs only 2.2 pounds. You're better off using a stick or a large rock.

The old LAW is pretty stout. If it is the only thing you have left, you could crack somebody upside the head with one. If it was extended, you could swing it like a bat. Most likely it would break after the first hit, but whatever you hit wouldn't be feeling good.
