I like how he just stops and lets her shoulder and fire the launcher, not even opening fire on her.

Also IRL the M202 FLASH only fired incendiary 66mm rockets, so if that got into the cockpit then he would be fucked in a pretty horrific way, as the sticky triethylaluminum mixture burns hot and bright enough (2200F/1200C)that heat radiation sears your skin at close distances and it can blind you for life if you don't look away.
The M202 FLASH wasn't a particularly well liked weapon by US troops, as there are some incidents of the rockets exploding while being loaded, or exploding right as they're leaving the muzzle, along with rockets in storage slowly leaking their volatile and pyrophoric incendiary mixture, creating massive fire hazards. It seems that they're supposed to have been phased out due to lack of use and lack of safety, but supposedly they have been used a little bit in Iraq and Afghanistan (which would be controversial because these are basically flamethrowers), and maybe or maybe not the M202A1 and a possible M202A2 are still in inventory.


Looks badass as hell, at any rate.
