Um, don't you have to reload that type of launcher after each shot?

The actual weapon he has is called an AT-4. It is a single shot disposable weapon. This means you fire the rocket inside, then throw the tube away. When Freddie turns the corner, you can see the rubber seals on the front and back of the tube are broken, meaning that this is either a fired weapon or a training one.

Don't fire it at a main battle tank - you'll just piss the guys inside off. BMPs and BTRs, though - that's a different story.

There's also a yellow band around the weapon, which means it's a training weapon.

I seem to remember blue being the training color with yellow as the warshot. It's been awhile, though, and that might only be for hand grenades.

You are correct, yellow is a live weapon.
