OWDU,
Would you believe that there were still some stocks of 3.5" HEAT hidden away gathering dust in magazines as late as 1994?
I was posted to the EOD school in 1992 and there were several hundred of the rockets there, being used for training Basic EOD students in dud disposal. I think it was the spring of 94 that we saw the last one go up in smoke.
