[[Image:Mk153SMAW.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW - 83mm]]
The '''Mk 153 SMAW''' ('''S'''houlder-launched '''M'''ultipurpose '''A'''ssault '''W'''eapon) is a reloadable shoulder-fired rocket launcher designed by McDonnell Douglas and manufactured by Nammo Talley, and used by the United States Marine Corps (and the US Army during Desert Storm). Essentially an enhanced version of the Israel Military Industries B300 launcher developed to replace the [[M72 LAW]] in USMC service following the collapse of the FGR-17 Viper program in 1983, the weapon consists of a reusable launcher unit which incorporates the weapon's sights and trigger, and encased pre-loaded rockets which are inserted into the rear of the launcher unit. A variety of projectiles are available: the Mk 3 Mod 0 high-explosive dual purpose (HEDP), Mk 6 Mod 0 high-explosive anti-armor (HEAA), Mk 80 Mod 0 novel explosive (NE, thermobaric) and Mk 7 Mod 0 practice rocket for training.


== Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW ==
The Mod 0 variant mounts a British-designed magazine-fed, primer-actuated semi-automatic spotting rifle developed for the [[LAW 80]] on the right-hand side of the launcher assembly. This feeds from 6-round magazines which are included in the end cap of each rocket: they are normally inserted into the side of the cap, though the HEAA rocket mounts the magazine in a side projection resembling a grenade safety lever because the HEAT warhead's long standoff rod occupies the middle of the end cap. The spotting rifle fires a special 9mm tracer round, the Mk 217 Mod 0, designed to match the ballistics of the rocket. This consists of a 9mm bullet in a necked-out 7.62mm NATO casing, propelled by a .22 Hornet blank which is placed inside the 7.62mm case. The setting back of the Hornet case inside the parent NATO case is what unlocks the weapon's action: it is an unusual variant of blowback operation. The spotting rifle and launcher use the same trigger: this is mechanically linked to the spotting rifle, and fires the rocket using an electromagnetic link. A switch directly above the pistol grip governs which of the two is fired when the trigger is pulled.
[[Image:Mk153SMAW.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW 83mm]]
 
Provision is made to mount an AN/PEQ-2 laser aiming module as an alternative to the spotting rifle. The weapon has open iron sights as standard, and can also mount a Mk 42 Mod 0 day sight or AN/PVS-4 or AN/PVS-17B night sight.
 
The most current version is the Mk 153 Mod 2 (known during development as FOTS, "Follow-On To SMAW"), which mounts an electronic Modular Ballistic Sight (MBS) that replaces the spotting rifle, incorporating a laser rangefinder, a ballistic computer which produces an offset reticle for indirect aiming, and a built-in thermal sight. Due to the lack of the spotting rifle this variant is much lighter, the launcher unit weighing {{convert|lbs|13}} with the MBS and just {{convert|lbs|8.5}} without it. 56 Mod 2s were delivered in 2016, with the entire existing inventory scheduled to be replaced by 2020.

The M141 SMAW-D is a disposable single-shot launcher, the result of the US Army's Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM) program. This project produced entries from FFV, who submitted a weapon derived from the [[M136 AT4]], the FFV AT8, and the winning entry from McDonnell-Douglas.

Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW - 83mm

The Mk 153 SMAW (Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon) is a reloadable shoulder-fired rocket launcher designed by McDonnell Douglas and manufactured by Nammo Talley, and used by the United States Marine Corps (and the US Army during Desert Storm). Essentially an enhanced version of the Israel Military Industries B300 launcher developed to replace the M72 LAW in USMC service following the collapse of the FGR-17 Viper program in 1983, the weapon consists of a reusable launcher unit which incorporates the weapon's sights and trigger, and encased pre-loaded rockets which are inserted into the rear of the launcher unit. A variety of projectiles are available: the Mk 3 Mod 0 high-explosive dual purpose (HEDP), Mk 6 Mod 0 high-explosive anti-armor (HEAA), Mk 80 Mod 0 novel explosive (NE, thermobaric) and Mk 7 Mod 0 practice rocket for training.

The Mod 0 variant mounts a British-designed magazine-fed, primer-actuated semi-automatic spotting rifle developed for the LAW 80 on the right-hand side of the launcher assembly. This feeds from 6-round magazines which are included in the end cap of each rocket: they are normally inserted into the side of the cap, though the HEAA rocket mounts the magazine in a side projection resembling a grenade safety lever because the HEAT warhead's long standoff rod occupies the middle of the end cap. The spotting rifle fires a special 9mm tracer round, the Mk 217 Mod 0, designed to match the ballistics of the rocket. This consists of a 9mm bullet in a necked-out 7.62mm NATO casing, propelled by a .22 Hornet blank which is placed inside the 7.62mm case. The setting back of the Hornet case inside the parent NATO case is what unlocks the weapon's action: it is an unusual variant of blowback operation. The spotting rifle and launcher use the same trigger: this is mechanically linked to the spotting rifle, and fires the rocket using an electromagnetic link. A switch directly above the pistol grip governs which of the two is fired when the trigger is pulled.

Provision is made to mount an AN/PEQ-2 laser aiming module as an alternative to the spotting rifle. The weapon has open iron sights as standard, and can also mount a Mk 42 Mod 0 day sight or AN/PVS-4 or AN/PVS-17B night sight.

The most current version is the Mk 153 Mod 2 (known during development as FOTS, "Follow-On To SMAW"), which mounts an electronic Modular Ballistic Sight (MBS) that replaces the spotting rifle, incorporating a laser rangefinder, a ballistic computer which produces an offset reticle for indirect aiming, and a built-in thermal sight. Due to the lack of the spotting rifle this variant is much lighter, the launcher unit weighing 13 lbs (5.9 kg) with the MBS and just 8.5 lbs (3.9 kg) without it. 56 Mod 2s were delivered in 2016, with the entire existing inventory scheduled to be replaced by 2020.

The Mk 153 SMAW and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
