Yeah, I always loved that shot near the end of Rambo 2, Electric Buggaloo (or whatever they called it) where he fires the LAW from the seat of of the helicopter he's flying. He just fried all those rescued POWs in the back, and probably damaged the helicopter enough that it went down. If they were portraying reality. Do you know how many young troops I had to disabuse of the notion to fire a LAW from enclosed spaces after that? Hollywood sucks sometimes...
