	From what I could remember, historically speaking; the U.S. military replaced the M72 LAW in favor of the M136 AT4 during the early 1980s. Yet again, during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the military reissued M72s because of various reasons. So technically, since Arma Reforger is set in 1989, wouldn't the M136 be more accurate? Please correct me if I'm wrong and educate me on this one. If it IS correct, then a sentence on this bit should be added in the main page for the in-game M72 description, I believe. --[[User:RaNgeR\|RaNgeR]] ([[User talk:RaNgeR\|talk]]) 19:38, 23 May 2022 (EDT)		From what I could remember, historically speaking; the U.S. military replaced the M72 LAW in favor of the M136 AT4 during the early 1980s.

			: In my experience the ESRB is correct when it comes to exact title style nuance (though I'd welcome counter examples) since their listings come directly from the dev/publisher. Their rating (which was actually added the morning before announcement/release) is "Arma Reforger", "Arma 3", "Arma 2", "ARMA II", "ArmA: Combat Operations", and "ARMA Cold War Assault". I'm going with the series going through many style shifts and to avoid changing older ones. It's hardly the first series with this issue (Soul Calibur/Soulcalibur/SoulCalibur/SOULCALIBUR comes to mind) [[User:VladVladson\|VladVladson]] ([[User talk:VladVladson\|talk]])
