Well sort of. The max effective range of the M66LAW was suposedly
200meters. (though
not really becasue it was more like 100 meters, FROM behind) while the
AT4 is good
out to 300 meters. The dragon was supposed to be good out to 1000
meters, if it
worked.

BTW the Current TOW (As used in a Bradley) is effective between 65
meters out to 3750
but is best used between 1500-2500 meters.
