The SAS tooks Stingers to the Falklands in '82- unfortunately the trooper who had been trained to use them (and to train others) went down in the Sea King crash, taking his manuals with him.
One of his colleagues had some initial luck (2 shots, 2 kills) from beginner's luck, then missed with the next 5 or so. In the movie scenario, perhaps TLJ had also been trained in the use of the kit? (I have it on board, I may as well learn to use it...)
