The older version of this type of weapons system - using the "hard launch method" can literally be a pain to launch, As in like being punched in the chest by a 200-pound boxer every time you fire one. Even a trained Navy SEAL can only fire 5 of those old Javelins a day - and even then this requires a once-over by the nearest medic or corpsman to check for blast damage to ones lungs.
